A wound Thread of Grace
Knotted, fragile, frayed
Your gifts knew – and stayed:
Seek and run another Race.
. . . on to Glory!
And so I’ve come to the end of another leg of the journey, as the Head Doctor of the BMTU (Bone Marrow Transplant Unit) said to me this morning: “Your white counts are coming up well.” (They were at .8 today, .4 yesterday and .2 the previous.) “They’ll probably double again by tomorrow…. Do you want to go home tomorrow?”
Is the Pope Catholic?
So, unless something totally unforeseen happens between now and then, we’ll be on the road to SB in the afternoon.
The only thing that needs to happen (medically) is the removal of the line into my venus heartus. And I’m out-of-here! It’s been a long 3 weeks; I’m ready. ‘Nough said. Amen.
Congratulations! I am glad to hear things are going so well for you! Bob says the removal of the line is no big deal. They just pull it out. Bob got out for a short walk today and is continuing to slowly improve. Tell Carolynn I continue to think of both of you and wish you all the best. Kathy

YAY! That is exciting Scott! I’m thrilled (and when I use “thrilled” I really mean it. I didn’t just use it to be dramatic
) to hear you’re doing well. I’m also glad to see that through all this you haven’t lost your sense of humor and sarcasm…beautiful. Something I truly appreciate. Oh, and you would be happy to know that I have decidied to read the Harry Potter books this summer! And, yes, you can take partial credit for that decision. Anyway, I hope you continue to get better!
