Day 17 turned out to be a bit of a letdown. They took the bone marrow tests, but there were so many cells in the marrow that they couldn’t tell if they were good or bad.  (I am believing that they are good and that this is a wonderful example of answered prayer)  But they couldn’t tell, so this morning they took another bone marrow sample, this they will send the samples to a lab that can read them better.  So, the waiting continues.

But the doctor did say that my other blood levels were looking good and headed in the right direction.  

The day was spent twiddling my thumbs until May came in the evening. She had made the most amazing Salmon, hummus, noodle, bean salad. I could not have ordered a better salad in a restaurant.  After dinner we took a nice walk and practiced steps, which one can come surprisingly unaccustomed to if you don’t keep up and practice. 

Thanks to May today wasn’t a complete bust. But the long monotonous days are starting to wear on me and I’d like a change of scenery, especially if things are looking good health and blood-wise.

On the bright side

May also brought me some sudoku books and deductive puzzles to help me pass the time. Because like my legs and the steps, I suspect that I need to keep my brain chugging along as well.
