"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming 'WOW -- What a ride!'

saw the dr. yesterday. everything is going as expected. they removed my infusion port, which is another step down the road. i get to take a real shower for the first time in several months. yeehah. we're going to captiva sunday for spring break, i've been cleared to have "a couple of beers", but also told to avoid as much sun as i can. should be easy in fla. sun exposure triggers graft vs. host disease, which i definitely don't want. the next milestone is a 100 day bone marrow biopsy toward the end of april. i'm happy spring is finally here, enjoy.

saw the cardiologist today. he said my the results of my echo cardiogram showed that my heart is as healthy as it was prior to the chemo/transplant treatments. another piece of great news. he lowered the dosage of one of my medicines, which he said should help with my fatigue. all in all, a great visit. next appt. in 3 months. now it's back for my weekly visit with the oncologist on thursday. just continuing to build my strength and stamina. i'll post again after my thursday appointment. thanks to all.
