4-weeks ago at midnight tonight I received my bone marrow transplant. We were warned of the imminent dangers of this procedure so making it to the 4-week mark seems incredible. To mark the day, tomorrow I will undergo a bone marrow biopsy to see how things are settling in. I will receive some results within 24-hours and I am told the more sophisticated tests results will not be returned for 2-3 weeks.

Today was a bit of a breakout day for me as besides my walk home from the clinic I took a second short walk in the afternoon to the shore of South Lake Union. It was nice to get out although that 45-minute outing resulted in a 1-hour nap. Yes, I am still napping a lot. My day seems like naps peppered with activities, meals and clinic visits.

Although I am not looking forward to the discomfort of tomorrow’s testing, I do look forward to the hopefully positive results that the transplant is taking root.

When we were out at the lakefront today we can tell what a circus is coming to this neighborhood for the July 4th weekend. As I once commented, it seems like Sharon and I are the oldest folks in this neighborhood. The young bring a lot of energy that I hope to feed off of.
