It will be really brief tonight, I am not sure if I am coming down with something or if I am just really cold and sore from running. I think I am going to sleep with this laptop on my belly, like a hot water bottle. Could do with a few more though.
Aj has had a pretty quick week in Houston, he cut it short with a couple of days. Had this been when he was in school, still living with Tommy and Fabby, the belt or paddle would have been out long time ago. :)
He skipped today's class "Introduction to Stem cell transplant".... I think he just wants to do the fast track course 'a la Catia' - just have me tell him what is to be expected.
Lets see... when a husband goes in for transplant a daily massage is needed by the wife.... If schedule allows - do two. Eating is a must, preferably out as many times as possible, don't want to risk the cooking interfering with the massage schedule... lol.... just kidding..
Adrian still amazes me, he has had chemo every 3 weeks since February more or less, with a little break in the summer. All these tests, poking, sticking and drinking horrid drinks. He still has great attitude and spirit. He is working away like a horse and the only breaks he has, he is in Houston or home feeling like crap because he has just had chemo.
It is like a Muhammad Ali fight, you know who is going to win... just how long will it take to get there. We are getting closer to that bell ringing though. The transplant will happen within 2 weeks now, I think.
So this week, just a bunch of tests and no results or meetings with doctors at all. They changed the central line catheter, to a smaller one. It is less risk of infection with a smaller one and there is no need for a big one, once the stem cells are out.
There are still cords hanging out though. He is feeling well and his hair is actually growing on his head, pretty impressive.
You two are amazing! To find humor in life in spite of all the negative thing thrown at you!
