Day +20, Now we're a 5th of the way there!

Good Day Folks. Update on medical condition first: Counts are up... White Blood Cells, Hemoglobin, and Platelets(close to normal). However, the big one, the one we're all waiting to jump, the Big Kahuna, Star of the Show, the Neutraphils, refuse to budge off a low level. They're coming up... actually kinda bouncing around... down a bit, up a bit. Sluggish, asleep. They were expected to take a jump this week... WAIT, we still have tomorrow. They're not worried, could be next week, too. In older patients and donors, it sometimes takes a while...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

All's well at the apartment. Since Ruth Ann got here last night, she's been adding the “Ruth Ann” touch to the apartment. She brought me a ton of stuff I asked for from the house and has added her little touches (like the arrangement of stuff in the bathroom!!) all over. Really starting to feel like a home instead of a college dorm! Today, she went to the grocery store to pick up a “few” items. By Monday, we should have the freezer filled with chicken soup, red sauce and meatballs, escarole and beans, and pasta fazoole. Fit for a king. This is penicillin for Italians! Can't wait.

Ruth Ann and I tried to wake up those Neutraphils this evening... went for a little walk. I actually did a quarter mile with my walker. My legs did OK, but the tennis balls on the back legs of my walker are done in... worn to within an inch (maybe a 32'nd of and inch). If you got any airless tennies, send 'em my way.
