More No News

It is Monday morning, and sunny here in SF. It really makes a difference to my mood. My blood is low, but not yet at its nadir. If things go well, my new cells will engraft, and by the weekend my counts will start to come up, and hopefully I can go home on Tuesday. Once home, I go to the clinic twice a week (an all day affair) for three months. I keep this central line in for the three months, which looks like spaghetti coming out of my chest. I am still at risk for infection, and Graft vs. Host Disease(GVDH).

My spirits remain good most of the time. The days are long, but finally one turns into the next. I walk the halls with a mask on, and occasionally have a good talk with a fellow patient. Nancy says the garden is looking spectacular, and I am eager to see it.

With gratitude,
Anne

Dear Sweet Anne,

You looked so beautiful when I saw you today. You're glowing with heart energy and you're so loving. I feel your deep inner core strength growing and growing and expanding out to embrace those around you. And, you're fun to be with. Your heart and your bright mind dance well together. You're an inspiration to many of us and I love you. You and that twenty-five year old guy and Dennis are beginning your long happy healthy life together. Yeah team.

Love to you,

Mary
