Ed and I went to the scheduled conference today. Unfortunately the blood test area was SO backed up we waited an hour and two minutes from check-in time to completion, so we were a bit late for conference. We got our calendar/schedule and we got the doc to agree to allow my brother to be HLA typed. (Big step.)
Tomorrow is another bone marrow sample/biopsy. I'm gonna be knocked out completely for this one. I don't really care if it makes me seem like a wimp...... I don't wanna be here for this one......
The current schedule has me getting Melphalan (bone marrow poison) on the 28th and my transplant on the 30th. Engraftment (acceptance and regrowth of my stem cells) should occur within 14 days (24 at the most). Yeah, that would stretch right up 'til Christmas eve.
(For those "in the know", some Canadians are pestering me to come visit them. I'm actually scheduled to go up there on Thanksgiving Thursday.)

Say hey to the Candians. Hope your Thanksgiving is as good as can be. I'm staying home and stuffing myself with turkey and all the fixings.
