Happy Stemmies Birthday to me!  The day I have been waiting and working for has arrived!!  It is now a wait and see game.  My isolation days will start around Monday but I will have blood drawn often to see how my counts are and when I will be in and out of neutropenia.

This was the simple procedure the next one taking the picc line out was the worst!  We all had stitches and of course the doc said they didn’t hurt pulling them out but they always do!  Can’t help it I’m a wuss!! He then took the picc line out.  It isn’t a clear picture but this is the foreign object I had in my body for 4 days.

Now I know why it hurt when I moved my arm, it looked liked it was 8 inches long. The doctor is holding pressure trying to stop the bleeding.  Can’t spell his name or pronounce it but all the girls that have had the procedure call him Dr Hottie. We had went to Walmart while Marty and Paula were here and bought me a water bottle to drink out of while laying back and it had a built in ice tube to freeze and straw. I told Chriss to be sure and not forget it Thursday and guess what? Yep He forgot it but you know how nice I am and just let it go, NOT!!!  I  gave him a hard time when he sit that rinkydink bottle down and the doc didn’t forget it.  He had to see this bottle when we got in there.   He is very nice and friendly.

Betsy, Lynn, me, Uta, and Jamie Group 1 in front of Clinic.

This is a picture of the doorman at the clinic and while waiting I noticed you didn’t get in unless you could show proof to get in. They were very helpful getting us out of the van and in to our chairs if need be.

The following picture is of the Group, our caregivers, and our driver (who seemed to be always late!).

I think I will close this post for tonight and get some rest.  I’ll proof before I hit post!

Good night all, home in two weeks!!!!
