SO FAR SO GOOD
It's closing in on suppertime and so far the other meals have pretty much passed right on through but without causing any discomfort. Here's hoping it continues or maybe even reduces a bit. I guess I'm like Dr. S said he was the other day, "cautiously optimistic".
Energy-wise it's been a bit of a down day. I could only do two laps around the unit but did come back to do two more with Nurse M. Hope to have more good new tomorrow.
Happy Father's Day to my dad and to Pauline's. We miss them.

My journey through Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia. Or "How to Cure Psoriasis the Hard Way."
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.

I have decided to say Happy Father's Day to you, since Dad is gone and I want to say it to someone. Miss him much, but you are a good one to say this too. Love you much, Glad you are doing better.

Wanted you to know what my friend, Missi said to me today.... "I read your brothers blog. Very interesting and motivating. If he can't be active, I will be active for him!" She is a wonderful exercised. She has given you hundreds of miles. I found this encouraging.

Calling for forgivness. As far as I am concerned today you had to do the walking for both of us. All the exercising I did was to play dining room soccer with a tennis ball against my four year old dachshund. She won. We stopped when we lost the ball under a cabinet. Now back to the LSU v UCLA College World Series game.
All sounding good, Boone. I know going outside must have been VERY nice after 30 days indoors; sounds like you have a great doctor. Praying for healing for your GI tract.
