I got out of the hospital yesterday 01-24-2011. Yes I was in for 28 days. That's a long time without your own bed!!! It probably would not have been as long if Dr. X didn't leave me in pain so long and we didn't have to transfer...but it was well worth the the transfer. I have an appointment with the new doctor at Baylor....and this appt. will decide if I have one more round of chemo or go straight to transplant! I vote go straight to transplant so I can say "I had leukemia"! My sister informed me I have a "MUD" or matched unknown donor. Thank you MUD for doing everything you're doing and giving up for me...someone you don't know...bless you and your family always. I will update after my appt. tomorrow! Still fighting.
Love to all,
Katie
So glad you finally got to go home for a break! You ready to help me with another Coca-Cola puzzle? (Robert can always finish it after we get stuck! which WILL happen!) I'm hoping to bring Jeff over to visit you this week; he has a gift for you from Costa Rica. Plus, he'd just like to visit you anyway. I'll call you soon. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteyay, I haven't seen Jeff since....have I seen him since I was diagnosed? I don't think so! Bring on the puzzle it will only take us an hour to get stuck anyway hahahahaha this is really a "small break" I think...we will see tomorrow at the appointment w the awesome Dr. Vance!!!!!
