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!🐥
