Yesterday was a good day got out and did a few things went grocery shopping with Jan and then to a movie something we have not done for a real long time. Came home and spent time doing a few chores and eating the best home cooked meals Jan has turned into a real culinary artesian she is a great little chef. Well what more could I ask for I am so blessed and the sad thing was we did not have one visitor all day.

Yesterday was a most interesting day felt sick to my stomach and then my wife Jan came home and picked me up off we went to the doctor. My mind tells me I can do things but my body says I can’t and not much energy. Sleeping all day is getting old and I want to be a productive person feeling like I can add something to this world. Then I have chemo brain dysfunctions and can’t speak to write like I would like to. This is very discouraging to me at the present time. Yet I have so much to be thankful for and the one gift I would like to have it the ability to write and speak in an organized manner.

ch day it seems like I make a small step forward, did leave the house three times went for a ride with a friend, went to the doctor with Jan and dropped off out taxes. Sure felt like a whole lot walking up steps is still very hard but I made it. I spent a few minutes on the computer yesterday still a lazy person not accomplishing a whole lot but making an effort to get stronger.

Well today is my first day flying solo since about December 14, 2012. I miss Jan more than I thought I would and she has only been gone about an hour. Jan, bless her little heart has done so much for me during this past eight months she deserves an award for being the best wife a guy could ever want to have. I have been so blessed I am starting to feel better. I went to church yesterday and it was great to see so many good friends and people did not feel strong enough to stay and left early came home and fell asleep. I love you all and know how blessed I am and I am thankful for all your prayers.

I had a good day yesterday went for a walk and found out what little strength I truly have. I just keep hoping that I can get stronger each day and I know what a slow process this is going to be. I am still having challenges with nausea even when I take the medicine designed for it. I just hope that I will be able to get over the sickness I feel each day it is a bit overwhelming.

Wow, this has been a rollercoaster of a ride. I had no idea how bad things could get after the bone marrow transplant. I have been so weak and the nausea has not gone away. Don’t get me wrong on this I am so thankful for all the blessings that I have had and all the support it makes things so much easier. I am so thankful to Jan my wife she has been at my side for the past two weeks she is a much better wife than I could ever think of being a husband. I always thought I could be a better husband but now she has done so much for me I could never repay her for all she has done and how she has done it just blow my mind. I love her and appreciate her so much more. I am so blessed.

Well I have been home almost a week and today if the first day I have had any energy and also the first day that I have felt relief from both nausea and diarrhea. I have been so sick with the nausea and diarrhea that I had almost given up hope of ever getting better. Both started on December the 29 with the chemo and I had no let up until today. I must admit I had no idea it would take so long after transplant to start to feel better. I now fully understand why the doctor said I would not be able to report back to work until at least the 1^st of May. I miss working and being around all the good people I have had the privilege of working with. I look forward to getting well I know I have a few procedures left ahead and do look forward to being outside in the good weather.
