So I just got off the phone with my transplant coordinator and I am to be admitted into PSL, where the transplant takes place, on Monday, october 17th and start the chemo w radiation. The bone marrow transfusion is then going to take place on October 24th. Now there might be a day or two difference in dates, but this is what the transplant team has worked up thus far. I will then continue to be a patient for the following 4 weeks after the transplant to make sure my body accepts my brothers cells and get me back to me. But, I had to make a goal or else I'll just sit twiddling my thumbs waiting impatiently. My goal is to be released the day before thanksgiving. That is my favorite holiday and really the only one I look forward to for glutinous reasons. I love turkey. There, I said it. I'm glad I got that off my chest. It's been weighing me down for years...ha ha! Literally. So, November 23 or before WILL be my release date. And we'll worry about anything else at it becomes an obstacle.
This thing is really happening. There are those that have life acted upon them and then those that act on life. I'd rather be the latter. I can't wait to see you all on the other side of this obstacle. It'll be a good day.
