Dave and I finally made a connection the other day. (I got kicked out of the library for being on my cell phone when he called, so I left. Talking to Dave-much more important!) He has been doing very well these days. Aside from some muscle and bone pain, which I think he expected but not quite this painful. So he still needs to take some pain medication, but he is not doing the full blast 'loopy-de-loo' dosage. He is up and around, ignoring the pain and the skin thing as much as possible. (He still is having issues with his skin!) But for a 'newby stem cell transplant patient', I would say that he is medically and mentally a whole lot better than we all thought he would be at this stage.
It has already been 10 months since Dave was diagnosed, and from the Myeloma standpoint, he is healthier now than he was in February. And in these past 10 months, lots of other things have taken place. We watched as our friend fought for his life; we stood by him and his family and helped in all the many ways that we could; we threw one hell of a great party: we all became connected through this Blog and with our happy thoughts; and we now get to enjoy the fruits of all the labor that went in to getting him well.
And I am very happy to report all of this wonderful news.
Stay connected with your happy thoughts.
Marilyn
