I'M BACK
And glad to be back on the transplant floor.. I love all the nurses here. Last night I read what Kathi has written on the blog while I was in the ICU. It's hard to read that at least on of your doctors doesn't think you are going to make it out of the hospital, ever., It took me while to pull it together. Then I remembered a line of Jim Carry's, an overactor from the only movie of that I like "Dumb and Dumber". At one point he asks the girl that he chasing to tell him straight up what his chances are with her. She says "about a million to one" to which he replies with a large grin, "Show you telling me there's a chance then"'. People win lotteries and get hit by lighting everyday. The odds may be low but they are not zero.
I'm still week but I still feel good. That is the weird thing I feel like I could go home and be fine except that I'd be dead shortly if I tried that.
I believe it is "Tales of Power" where Castaneda tells Don Juan that he has a friend that is dying and asks if there is anything that she can do. Juan Genero tells him that if she is strong enough that when death comes to take her then she push her hand away from her chest, say "No" and push death way. I may not have the power but I deffinitley have the will.
So hang in there with me with all the thoughts, prayers and good vibrations. And for all the other folks in similar situations. I can tell you for sure that just knowing you are out there does help. Every night I send that ball of energy though my GI tract to attach the GVHD.

Now I weep. After holding it back for days and days, I now shed tears of joy. YOu're back, You're back!
Words to prove I'm not a ROBOT are "armed by sister"
So very good to hear from you! :)
Glad to have you back Sir Gregory. A bit dicey there for a bit, at least according to the only account for which I have access. Very happy to hear that you're back in action and hopefully on the mend. Keep it up.
Lots of thought and prayer from Hokie country.

Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! I have been reading this blog since day one and I have never been so pleased and happy to read a post. You are truly a man of steel to have endured what I have read. I have been a silent observer, weeping and cheering for the two of you until now, but this entry deserves an AMEN, Preach On my friend!!!! You are one of the bravest people I have ever known and if anyone can go home after this ordeal, you are certainly that person. One in a million... not the best odds, but my money is on you. STAY STRONG and CARRY ON. Kpedigo aka The Brick Haint
love you, dboonie.
So glad you are back! You had us all a little worried about you. I know you are a fighter. You were out of it but I stopped by to see you on Saturday. I will try to stop by this time for a real visit.
I am actually on a flight right now headed back from South Austin. I told then you had a lot to say about BMT design and they got a good chuckle out of it. They all send you there best and said to let them know if there is anything they can do for you.
I will try to get by real soon and tell about my trip. So glad you are back my friend! Tiana
Boone, Good Grief it’s good to see your words again. Not that I don’t love to read Kathi’s prose, but to read yours again is really great!!! Know that we here in the Alpine Wonderland send you our positive vibes daily and I for one know that they work! So hang in there and keep up the good fight and keep the words coming at us…tlsiii
Drama queen! Lol. Love you Boone. So glad you're back.
I'm glad you are back too. I love you. I want you well again. I want to watch you shake your booty again. I want you to make more CDs. I want you home where you belong. I want you back.
Damnit man. Keep fighting. I was there and saw you in the "Michael Jackson" state. It was comforting to know you recognized what I was saying but man. Scared the sh$# out of me. I told you that night I love you and you know I do. I have to travel tomorrow and Friday but I'll be there sometime this weekend and I may just have to bring some work with me. LOL. Deep sigh. Fight man. BS
Bless your heart. It's good to see YOUR words. I see your will to fight. I see your desire to go home. Keep fighting!! Lots of folks out here pulling for you, but none more than those angels masquerading as doctors and nurses over there.
Way to go, Boone! Good to read your words, but I knew I would. I believe in you. Carry on.
