Effective Saturday, March 31st my address will be:
Wes Schierman
920 Delaware Street SE
#1028
Minneapolis, MN 55414
For those looking to visit, the building is known as The Argyle House. There is very limited on-street parking, but there is a BIG parking ramp straight west of the apartment building. If you do plan on stopping by, please give me a call first - mostly to make sure I'm there, but also to see if I'm "up" for visitors that day.
Wes' Cell Phone: (612) 240-3934
I will be there, according to my doctor, for the next "month or two." I might even be able to get to the lake for a weekend or two between now and then. They have weened my off IVs, so I'm totally on pills (40 per day). I'll report to the BMT clinic Saturday for the first time - my daily clinic schedule after that will be pretty much up to me. After a while, the daily visits will go to every-other day, barring any setbacks. Blood draw each day, transfusions as needed, vital checks and such will be the daily ritual at the clinic. They told me that I probably won't lose any more hair - they said it usually falls out within two weeks after the irradiation, and I haven't noticed it yet (fingers crossed!)
Verna, Al & Becky, John and the girls will be here Friday to attend meetings and help me get moved to the apartment. Joel and Dori said they'll try to stop by sometime this weekend. Warren decided not to come down this weekend.
We'll probably do an informal Birthday Celebration on Sunday early afternoon int the apartment complex meeting room, even though my 67th isn't until Monday. Feel free to stop by, but be forewarned that I may not be up to a long party and may head back to my apartment for a rest. I'm sure the rest of my family would appreciate seeing and visiting with you too!
Verna will be my 24/7 caregiver until Wednesday, April 4th, so I'll need to rely on others when she cannot be here (or needs a break).
I want to thank each and every one of you for your cards, calls, letters, visits, blog comments, prayers, and kind thoughts.
