Well I'm almost to the 100 day mark, which just happens to be feb 5th, super bowl Sunday. So i get to celebrate two things, my 100 days and hopefully my giants winning a repeat from the pats.
Aside from that, things have been status quo. I'm almost off this steroid (prednisone) which they've had me on for about a month. If you've never taken this steroid before, it can make you very twitchy or shaky and it can give your body the impression that you're stronger and have more energy than you actually have.
The other good news is that I had my last spinal tap last weds. It was a good birthday present by the doctors. They're very thoughtful...ha!
Well, I should be back to work sometime in the next few weeks which is exciting and scary all at the same time. I really want to go back as if I didn't miss a beat, but I need to set my expectations that i probably have. At least I got a good story to share...with my colleagues and my clients.
The last bit of good news is that Mish and I are back in our apt. In was great staying with her folks, but it's nice to have our own space again.
Hope you are all well.

About day 75 out
So I'm close to finishing my 100 days post bone marrow transplant. Michele and I get to move back home next week. I'm very excited. It's been great having Rob and Donna (my in laws) along with Mish take care of me. But I really need to progress in this situation. I know I'm not done with this journey, but I need to start jumping some hurdles.
From a health standpoint, I have my last spinal tap on weds (which just so happens to be my birthday). I'm not sure when I get this chest catheter taken out, but I was told by my doctor I can snowboard with it attached. So my goal of snowboarding by march is not out the window. I've been working out everyday and am beginnng to get stronger and my appetite is back.
So what can I tell you? This hasn't been an easy journey. Lonely at times. But it's been a humbling journey nonetheless. I just started driving this week. Wow, have I missed that. Hell, I had my first coffee in 3 months on Thursday.
The things I've taken for granted over the years has really fallen into focus.
