the end of an interesting day. Got up after not a bad night but slept late 6:30. walked and started breakfast at 7:00 started to get my anti nausea at about 7:10 or so. at 7:30 without notice I lost my breakfast. the lesson is despite not feeling nauseaous, I might be, and I need to take the medicine BEFORE I eat.I checked my hair and it is coming out in clumps. Which releived Dr. Schoozenbotz because he said " you're not coming into my day surgery looking like that" and laughed his head off.
Then I got the counts and found there was a very slight rise in both neutriphils and White cells. from 0.00 to 0.07 neut. and from 0.2 to 0.5 in white cells. It's small but its a start. Much later Dr. Schoozenbotz said that he wants me to "get a whiff of G" that turns out to mean a small dose of Growth Factor. 'cause he thinks I'll grow nutriphils like crazy now.
The other docs in the team came in, in the afternoon as well and think that if I do well and don't get a temp., then I might go home(to kangaroo point) next week! Which will be the fastest ever! Okay before we get too excited ...still ahead may be Host Versus Graft Disease which I can't start to get until my counts are back; and any combination of things that can give me a temp and infection. So we are still talking in the woods folks.
I wore a new shirt that Joyce gave me that went down a treat with the folks.
Thanks for all the support you are making it happen!
more later

Everybody's saying what I've been thinking! you are an 'awesome dude'. You are doing so well!
Looking at your Jo haircut, I think it's probably a good idea that it's starting to fall out. Moral of the story is - don't ever let Jo come within 6 feet with clippers in hand. Which leads me to my reason for my first blog - just thought I'd let you know about your dog. She too has stood too close to a set of clippers and she's in disguise now going by the name of "Billy-Girl". Luckily, in my absense this week family decided to aid in the identification process and have clothed her in her collar so people can tell them apart. We promise to take photos of said disguised Briard this weekend - along with her twin. For identification look to the wagging tail - hers hasn't stopped since arriving home from the day spa.
Great to hear to might be "home" to Kangaroo Point next week. If all goes to plan we are planning a family visit on Sunday.
Luv.
You may still be deep in the woods, but you're swinging a chainsaw! (I love the image of you in a hospital gown with a Husqvarna in hand.) Great to hear you're setting a pace that will get you out of the hospital and into the next medical journal.
You go girl!
