The theme of today is Living Deep in the Big Muddy. That is what our head nurse told me at our visit today. Not sure if she was aware of where this phrase came from and I recognized it, can home and played the Pete Seeger version.

I stayed out of the hospital last night, but it was a close call. I lost my dinner and again spiked a temp of 100.5. Since I had been blood cultured the night before and given antibiotics. Tylenol did the trick controlling the fever and it has not yet returned. Fingers crossed.

I go go the clinic daily now for a 3-4 hour treatment of hydration and electrolyte replacement. After the visit today I actually felt good enough to walk down the hill back to our apartment.

My scorecard continues to rise at an amazing pace and level. The reason I am in the “big muddy” is that there is so much going on in my body, from rebuilding my immune system, to having the new cells like their new home and not wage a war, and trying to keep all my systems going. When one thing is not going well, it is a bit hard to figure out the exact cause. So we are wading and not drowning. Some day we will make to to the other end ot the shore.

Hope you had a good Juneteenth.
