Day 22 of the fourth coming

Watching flag football at Memorial Stadium

Nothing really to report today, except we're getting out a bit more.  We walked to QFC a mile away today.  Walked to Seattle Center yesterday where I played  flag football (on field turf—thank you Paul Allen!).  Then drove to Ivar's Salmon House for dinner.  Friday it poured all day.  I ran 30 minutes and met Heidi at Starbucks.  Yes, I was dripping wet and the hot latte tasted great.


Can't really remember much before that.  I think it's the chemo drugs.

Watching the boat traffic from Ivar's

Got an interesting call from Lorelei tonight.  Some of you may remember Lorelei as the spunky one from UMC in Tucson.  She said she dreamed about us.  Except Lorelei is from Minnesota, so apparently in the dream we were having a slap fight with Lutefisk.  Then one of the Lutefisk turns into her boss and says we have to infuse the Golden Gophers with brandy.  Fortunately, I being the fake nurse, was there to help so all the patients ended up happy and well-cared for except the ones who were ice-fishing, but they were infused with enough brandy on their own.  Then the Canadians stormed across the border and Jan Brewer complained.  Did I get that right, Lorelei?  That one was for you.

Only one routine meeting with the medical team this week.  Only two blood draws also.  Then Friday is the Day 28 bone marrow sample.  I'll get video and lots of stills.  Maybe even some interviews with the techs.  It will actually be only Day 27, but they don't do weekends so we get in a day early.  With this test they will of course be looking for leukemic-looking cells.  I think they can also tell the ratio of donor bone marrow to original host bone marrow.  So maybe we'll have a new report Friday night about Heidi's degree of chimerism.
