The end is in sight

My hematocrit was up today, so it looks like all systems are go for going home on Friday. I will need a daily IV nurse for magnesium (a side effect of the immune suppressant), but I will be able to learn how to do it myself. The mucositis is slowly subsiding, and I think I will not need painkillers tody.

So many hurdles passed, and a ways to go. The love and support has surely been one of the keys to how well this has gone so far. It is really all quite amazing - my sense of the little "I" is much diminished in the largeness of it all. The most difficult thing has been my mind, my fear and my resistance. It has been great to get to see that so clearly. I think grace is always there for us to step into. Your cards and e-mails have been great reminders for me.

Off for one of my last boring walks in the uninspiring halls. Always grateful that I can walk, when many on this floor cannot.

Love,
Anne
