I received 2 platelet transfusions today bringing my count up to 42. I also had an EKG & a resting heart stress test (they called it something that starts with an M) to establish my baseline, I will have another one after the chemo treatments to see if it alters my heart. They said my heart looks good & my chest X ray was good also. All in all it was a pretty boring day, I am currently on Oxycodone to help reduce the pain from the Bone Marrow Biopsy. Tomorrow should be interesting, I should get the results from the Biopsy, find out what Clinical Trial I will be in & start Chemotherapy. We will see if this happens, everything is subject to change.
Cody Linder came to visit me tonight, we had a good visit. I was not sure how I would feel about visits but I must admit it really lifted my spirits & took my mind off of things. I had Marc stay home tonight & be with the kids. The lack of sleep is catching up with him so hopefully he will go to bed early. Paige has her first home cheer leading game tomorrow as long as the schools open back up, I told Marcus to go to the game & take some pictures for me. I hope for Misty's sake they open the schools back up, I am sure the kids are driving her crazy by now. Marcus said the Internet is still down oat the house so I am glad I have the Wifi in my room.
My dinner was horrible tonight mushroom soup, peas & some nasty looking noodle crap, Marc did not want to tell me Misty cooked a ham & mashed potatoes I am so jealous, my primary care attendant felt so bad I wasn't eating he went & made me a grilled cheese & tomato soup, it was good just like grandma used to make I know if nothing else I could eat that every day. OK I am outta stuff to say so I will let you all know what's happening tomorrow.

Hi there Sweetie!!!
I'm glad you updated the blog, it's nice to know what your day is like, boring and all!!
Not much going on around here, there is only a small section of town that doesn't have power. I haven't heard about the schools yet.
Paul is coming over after work...everything there is going well, we're just working through the quarks that come with a new relationship but it's all good.
I imagine the Oxy's have you pretty knocked out, I called tonight but you were probalby sleeping.
Sweet dreams tonight....
You are in my prayers, all day tomorrow!!

I wish I had a small portion of the courage that you display Sandi. I also know anyone that can survive growing up with Elaine can survive anything...just know I love you and people you don't even know are praying for you everywhere. I will call you one of these evenings. And, I hope evetyone comes to visit cause I can't. Take care babe, love you too much!!!!
We love you! Everyone here in roundtown says... Hey! Happy to hear you had a nice visit. Will be up to see ya ASAP.
We made it through Day II of the workshop. I could here your comments in my head from the last class! We, of course, got behind schedule without you and will have to try to catch up next time! I pray for good news from your test results today and that your family gets to return to more normaly life with internet and school after the storm's interruption. It will be cool when they have the internet back and you have to be in your room with wifi. I always enjoyed instant messaging my kids when I had to be on the road with my old job. We also used to play type racer on my space and that was a lot of fun. Take care! ~tonya

Sandi,
Here's praying your results are better than you expect. In such a hospital, shouldn't they be making food to order, even if it is grilled cheese. Thanks for the updates. Maintain your winning attitude and we'll keep in touch.
