The calm of Sunday

Bluey is still a sleep. I get that as its been a busy few days and she drove all the way down to Brisbane and back. Red dog does NOT sleep in and REQUIRES his morning walk and now I can't get back to sleep. Doc Shoozenbootzen said in passing tha this little wrinkle should not keep me from the trial but nothing about when it starts etc. so thats something to think about and obsess over. He has booked me for more blood tests Wednesday with a Skype chat on Friday to see where we go. More good obsessing material. Red cells live for 90 days so to have 101 - 78 = 23 (thousand?) go missing in one month makes docs freak out. It's like my Mom would say to the four us trying to elicit a confession.... "well they didn't just get up and walk out on their own!" Now that's really good obssesion material. So te recap.
 What we don't know
- where my red cells are going so fast
- whether I go on a treatment trial soon
- or later
-whether I go to the next level of treatment ..the donor Lymphocyte Infusion sooner
- or later
- whether any plans for my birthday in August will get screwed up
 - or not
 What we do know
