Day +47

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a little while, I don't really have too much news to report. Tomorrow I have a visit with my doctor and we will evaluate how my white cells are doing, I hope and pray that they are up. They were at 2.1 on Friday and I got neupogen, so I think they most likely will be up tomorrow, the real test will be next Thursday when I go back after a week and a half without neupogen and see what they are doing then. I really love the fall weather, but I must say when your in the city you wouldn't know it, which is nice that way I don't get teased. But I'm sure back in Pa is beautiful. Mindy got me one of my favorite foods to have for dinner tonight, RIBS!!!!!! yeah I'm excited for that. My feet are still peeling off, I have a feeling this is going to be a slow process. I still have some discoloration on various spots on my body but this should all go away with time as my new cells come in. I have been drinking a lot of water lately, not straight though, I put those crystal light packets in, I really like lemonade, and strawberry, but at least I'm able to drink water. Soda I think will be the ultimate test, I had a sip the other night and it still tastes crappy, I think it has to do with the carbonation. Still no new sprouts growing on my dome piece or any where on my body for that matter. Ok, that all from the big apple.

Hey D. -
It sounds like your momentum may be slowing down a bit but just remember some wise words from Confucius: "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop". Day 47 +...your almost at the halfway point and once you reach that it's all coasting!
Love you guys,
Biggie
