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.

WE'LL CALL IT A GOOD DAY

Medically I'm not sure where today should fall.  I did get to eat but it all passed through in short order.  The goal is for retain at least something for at least a period of time.  But I think Dr. S is going to let me go at least a couple of more "meals" to see how it goes.  I hope so.
He let me go outside and sit this morning and that was great.  I haven't been outside in 30 days and Pauline and I got to sit together in the shade for a half hour or so.  Very nice.
Pauline had to leave after the outdoor sitting so walking was left up to the nurse.  They were all very busy today but eventually I did get in three laps.  Not much but every little bit helps.
I confess I am worried about the input/output levels which seem the primary source of concern to the Dr's but all I can do is wait until the morning and see what they think. I'll let you know.

Wow, you got to go Outside! This is great news.

And you do get food! - even if it isn't work in your body yet, just let your month enjoy the food! The stomach will catch on later.
