Topic: Update
It's Wednesday afternoon/early evening. My checkup appointment at the local PR clinic today showed that my white cell count was near normal so my sinus infection was affected positively by the antibiotics I've been on since a week ago. My doctor was going to call the University of Minnesota BMT staff people to tell them I've "mended" enough to re-schedule the the transplant procedure again.
They had called a week ago to tell me to report last Thursday, but my sinus infection put that on hold. Whether I'm told to report before the weekend, or after this weekend depends on what their next telephone call says about availability, etc. With another snowstorm predicted for our area tonight, & through Friday may not allow me to travel very far from home, so I'll stay here trying to (completely) clear my nasal & throat passages.
Yes...I will update some of you on my status in regard to proceeding with the BMT.
Also, I wanted some of you to know that my brother-in-law's mother died early yesterday, at age 98, in a Fergus Falls nursing home. This would be Jerry's mom, & my sister Verna's mother-in-law, Helen Johnson. The past two weeks she had stopped eating, & not too responsive to either family members or staff. Today, my brother Al & I had lunch in PR with Verna, since she brought some of Helen's clothes to be given locally to a shop that sells used clothing. The funeral will be at 2:00 p.m. Saturday,
March 3, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls.
Jerry's & Verna's address is: 605 South Union Avenue, Fergus Falls, MN 56537-2710 (Telephone = 218 / 736 - 4864)
My best, for now, Wes
