Jerry,

The hospital does have a pretty good idea of what to expect — we’ve been working with them since October of last year. Oh, but I DO have a FEW surprises left for them — of the non-medical kind, I assure you.

Had my first lab draws today from the Hickey-man garden hose today. Couldn’t help but smile, strangely. First time in my life that blood came out of me without someone getting hurt. In fact, they had saline going in one head, blood coming out the other head (of the catheter — I only have one head) My older son, who wants to produce a zombie movie, would have been clapping in boyish glee. Me, I found it perversely interesting.

Anyway, we’re day -6 today. The cells should be infused on some time Thursday. They won’t tell me a lot about the donor, but I have found out it is a he, same blood type, and they say he is “off shore” They will not, however, tell me what species he is. If I start to sprout scales or feathers, I will be a bit disappointed. I specified hair.

Such an adventure we’re on, here. Thank you for all the kind thoughts, prayers and best wishes. Oh, and whoever mailed the frog, thanks, but I can’t have any new pets.

Best to all of you, and give your special ones a hug, too.

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

You hang in there and don’t keep the staff laughing so much they can’t take care of you properly. They surely will enjoy having you around, but don’t let ’em keep you any longer than necessary. Best wishes and keep us informed when you can. My prayers are with you.
