I'm going to start out this blog, not about my biopsy, but some sad news. My dog, Nikki passed away suddenly last Wednesday. The weird thing about this is, that my dog, Jake passed away while I was recovering from my first transplant. I read that there is a theory that a pet loves you so much that he/she takes on your illness so you will be okay. I don't know if this is true, but it's an interesting way to see things. I'll post a picture of my beautiful girl! She was quite feisty and a bit bitchy at times, but she loved when I sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to her or when I fed her by hand. Okay, she had me trained and kept me in line!
So, I had my 100 day biopsy on Monday. It wasn't too bad until...my sciatic nerve was touched. Holy craparooie! Once I started breathing again, it got better and didn't last long. The only thing I said was that there was a pain going down the back of my leg. I didn't swear or name call or say anything bad. Then again, it wasn't my first rodeo and definitely won't be my last. Bone marrow biopsies really aren't that bad. The worst part is waiting for the results!!
Lee and I were out for a little ride this evening and my cell phone rang with a Boston number...it was my doctor and guess what? My friggin phone dropped the call, because we were in a bad area. I said to Lee, "Hurray up and get me out of here." I was freaking the "f" out!! After about a minute, I called the doctor back and he said...my biopsy is ALL CLEAR!!!!!! I'm still waiting on my chimerism, but all the bad shit is gone. Now, it needs to stay that way. I'm very happy and excited and hesitant. I think hearing so much bad news for so long has made me a little nervous. With that being said, I'm going to revel in this great news and move forward. It's going to take me some time to get my energy and appetite back, oh and my hair. If any of you see me, I may have gray hair or brown hair or no hair, depending on my mood. I still have a long way to go, but I'm on my way. I'll keep blogging, because this trek isn't finished yet.
Peace Out Peeps!
