Home again!!

     Well Gennie made it through the FLAG treatment with flying colors. She was able to come home this past Saturday. That was about five to seven days ahead of schedule. Of the 25 days she was in the hospital she really only had three bad ones. Of course these would be the three our son, daughter-in-law and grandson were here and could see her. This visit did not happen, sadly. Gennie did recover quickly from those bad days and five days later was told she could return home. The last couple of days here have been quiet by design. She has been resting and trying to eat some to regain some weight. She went in the hospital at 98lbs and came out at 92lbs. The lowest she got to was 90lbs. We both hope she can get back to at least 98 before her next stay. There have been some unwanted changes in her outlook in life. She has gotten use to having folks do things for her. This has to stop. In the hospital if she did not like what was offered for a meal she would just ask for something else. When she wanted a milkshake all she had to do was ask. I am naming this the "queen bee complex". I am hoping it will disappear with time.
     This Friday we are headed back to MCV for her next biopsy. I am hoping they will lay out the schedule for us then. They have asked for Spud's (Gennie's brother) contact information. They will be contacting him shortly to inform him of the schedule for him. If everything goes as we were told by Dr. McCarty sometime in the next three to four weeks we will be back at MCV for the transplant.
     I know many of you are more interested in how I am doing with my diet. Well I am down fifteen pounds and going further. Started to wear my skinny pants and moved two notches on my belts. Long way to go but it has been very easy while Gennie was in the hospital. Cooking for two is so much more difficult.
     Well that's it for now. I will update again after Fridays meeting.
Bye for now, Bob
