More like myself every day...

Hey there Everyone.

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful days of Autumn. Here in the Bay Area it is our "summer", In the Midwest and East Coast there is that certain crispness in the air I always love!!

I know it has been awhile since I have written. Things are going really really well though. I am feeling stronger and stronger and more like myself everyday. It’s amazing how the strong the human body can be and delicate it is at the same time.

We found out last week that I should be going back into the hospital either the 16th or 17th of Oct and will get the transplant on the 23rd or 24th. The first part of my hospital visit will be another round of Chemo the following about a 2 day rest period I will get the transplant. My total stay may be 4 to 6 weeks, followed by a long recovery at home.

It has been so wonderful to be out of the hospital I have been really caring for my body in various holistic ways and caring for my spirit by spending time with friends and family and kitties and being outdoors. There’s not enough hours in the day to see everyone I want to see!!

Noah and I went to Half Moon Bay (a sweet town on the coast 1 hour South of San Fran). We celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary. It was so wonderful and so healing to be on the beach, take long walks, eat yummie food and be with each other.

My parents have been in town a little over a week now and it is so nice to have them here. We are setting up house and figuring out how 4 adults can live in a smallish house in a good way. They are figuring out how they can take care of themselves here. I know they are so involved in East Pointe. So I understand it must be difficult in some ways. Noah and I are so grateful though and it is a very huge lesson in love

I feel very much at peace around this next step. I am remembering these moments when my body is feeling really good and my mind is at peace. Reminding myself of the peaceful places. A couple nights ago while in Half Moon Bay, I had a dream that my blood counts were perfectly normal and I was fully healed. No one was telling me this in the dream; I just knew it to be true. I woke up feeling better then ever and uplifted

I have had the opportunity to talk to a couple of women who have been thru what I am about to go thru. It is encouraging to have recourse and compare notes and ask about their experiences. They are here as a resource for me as I have questions and fears thru this process.

Those of you that go to my Blog I know I said I would have my brother David post some pictures, but I have been slow about that. Stay tuned for pictures at the blog in the next couples days. Noah is trying to solve a technical issue.

Much love to all of you. Enjoy your Thursday morning.

Thank you for all your prayers and support for my family and I. Thank you for sending prayers to the donor, she is giving such a huge gift to me.
