Bone Marrow-aversary

Saturday, April 25th was two years since my 2nd bone marrow transplant.  I know it may not seem like a big deal to everyone, but it's a huge deal for me!  I wasn't sure that I would be able to survive another transplant, because my body had already been decimated once.  It was so scary! I don't look at things like I did before my relapse of MDS.  After my first transplant, I truly believed that I was totally and completely in the clear from the "c" beast.  Now, I will never feel safe again!  It not only can come back, but it did.  That is why I think April 25th will be a very important day for me. Every year that passes is a victory.  I sometimes wonder if Hans thinks about the day too?  It's weird.  I still haven't received my consent forms to be in touch with Hans, even though I've asked three times.  I think maybe MGH just has a lot going on right now, so I'll be patient.  He may want to be anonymous and I'll respect his decision.  He's done more than enough for me already.  I hope and pray that he is healthy and doing well in life.

Anyway, Lee remembered my bone marrow-aversary and bought me a beautiful Swarovski crystal necklace.  Then, because I've been cooking my little fingers to the bones, we ordered Chinese food for dinner.  I've been wanting to order from Kai's Place for a while and this was the perfect occasion for a treat. Lee lit a fire in the fire pit and we roasted marshmallows for dessert. 

Peace, hand washing and social distancing peeps!🐥
