Bringin' In the Sheaves, and sheaves, and sheaves...

To come right to the point, thereby startling my usual readers, yesterday they needed 2 million stem cells from me, and they got TEN million! So... "stem cells for everyone!" Beats me what the heck we're going to do with the excess, and I wish they had been able to tell us "go home" after getting oh, say, 3 times what's needed. The nurses did say they were 99% sure we were going to be done, based on (ick alert to the squeamish) the creamy nature of the stem cells collected.

Now, no more neupogen, got an immune system (although we still must avoid getting colds in this last week), but apart from a quick visit Katy takes me on tomorrow, WE ARE DONE with medicos and hospitals and special drugs until I go in, a week from today.

Today we are both simply fried, however. We took a nice walk to see the "Big Bugs" exhibit at NEWFS, and that will do for the day.

Friends Lydia and Barbara delivered fantastic, comforting healthy meals yesterday and today, and sister-in-law M is covering us tomorrow. Which is wonderful, because we have about enough energy to turn on an appliance, as far as cooking is concerned.

Cindy remarked that yesterday there was a "perfect harvest moon" which undoubtedly accounts for the stem-cell surplus.

So go shine on yerself, and we're gonna eat and nap.
