CMML, BMT, & ME

This is Pauline, Boone's wife. Every year on or near his birthday, he has his annual physical. His doctor told him that he had "Immature blood cells" and referred him to a hemotologist. To Boone's great surprise when he arrived for the appointment, the hemotologist was an oncologist. They drew blood and the Oncologist, Dr. K, wanted to know why I was not with him. Next visit he said, I better be there. A month later, we went to the appointment. Blood was drawn. Dr. K. said it could be a couple of things, and ordered a bone marrow biopsy. On the 3rd month, we heard the diagnosis of CMML.

Pauline here.

Mr. Boone is coming back.

The other night, we did what we used to do almost every evening. We played Wii - almost always frisbee golf - and Boone plays music.

His musical choice for our enjoyment was his compilation of his favorite Pink songs. Of course, you can't do Pink without "Get This Party Started".

What a wonderful song one of my favorite happy tunes. But the best part, the absolute best part was, when in the song "Stupid Girls" the line "I don't want to be a stupid girl" came around, he was shaking his ass.

Not that there is one there to shake, but I haven't seen him dance since around December. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was beautiful to behold.
