I am still here at the hospital. I got a pretty good nights sleep last night after staying up for the Bull vs Celtics 3OT thriller. Da Bulls! I was hoping that I would get to go home today, I feel a heckuva a lot better but my blood counts haven't followed suit, the doctors say that they should follow soon. They are watching my White Blood Cell count, which are the cells which help to fight sickness and infection. Being mine are low I am more susceptible to sickness out in the big, bad world so they have elected to keep me again overnight. I am optimistic to get out of here tomorrow and will start the stem cell harvesting on Monday, we hope that they can collect enough this first go 'round, otherwise it will be another 3 weeks before we can get into the high dose portion of the chemo. I have been corresponding with the guy I met from NJ who is getting the same treatment I will be receiving and he has said he has held up pretty good. I'm already falling a bit behind for he wasn't hospitalized at this stage like I have been.
Well, I'm sure most have you have heard that Chrysler LLC filed for Bankruptcy yesterday. It obviously is weighing heavy on my family's minds being both Chris and I are employed by Chrysler Financial. It has been a very good employer to both Chris and I and we are optimistic that the company will be resilient and weather this tough economic time.
Being the conference call was over an hour it gave Jamie an opportunity for an afternoon ciesta. After the call we went up to the 15th floor recreation floor and shot pool for about an hour and a half and then spent soon time out on the deck out there overlooking the Upper East Side before it started to sprinkle and we headed back to my digs in Room #530.
Jamie heads back to the Hope Lodge in the early evening and I got a call from my brother Ryan professing that this is the breakthrough year for the Kansas City Royals and that he is going to found the Zac Greinke fan club from him house in Denver, CO. Ryan, I hope you are right, the Royals have been really bad for quite some time. I'm just sitting in my room watching the Phils lose to the Mets 7-3 in the bottom of the 6th, Chan Ho Park got rocked tonight. That's all for today hopefully my post tomorrow can come from somewhere other than this hospital room. Later gators!

It's good to hear you are feeling better! We hope you are out of the hospital soon. We're having a few drinks tonight in honor of Chrysler's troubles. hee, hee.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed Ryan says the same thing about the Royals every year? Kinda like I think that every year is the Jayhawk's year. I hope he is finally right.
