Hi Lorraine, I just wanted to send best wishes to your husband as he starts his transplant journey in the morning. The road is long and difficult but he’s gone through all the cancer treatments and came out ahead of that rascal. This is the next leg of that cancer journey to eradicate it once and for all!

He’s entering this strong and positive…and he has you by his side. Please let me know how things are going with updates when you get a chance. Remember, I’m here for you both. Sending a virtual hug to you and your husband. 🤗

Dear Lori-

You are such a lovely, thoughtful person!
Yes, here we are and we're so exhausted already. But he's so strong, so I have no choice but to rise to the occasion. I am so terrified that some of the staff on the transplant floor not vaccinated, including nurses of course. I was fortunate in that I was able to get the third booster to protect us both. I am 73 and can't risk even getting a mild case because I could give it to him. Richard's oncologist strongly recommended I do so. I spoke with one of our nurses tonight who we like very much and when I brought up the subject, I could tell she was not vaccinated. She said not to worry because they all wear masks and gloves. Not much I can do but hope for the best. I can't wait until we are back home because I do a very good job of protecting him to the best of my ability.
I will be sleeping there full time, coming home maybe once a week for a few hours to do laundry, mow the lawn and pay bills. I really don't like to leave him because I was able to ensure he got good care as a result of my presence. If you miss the doctor's visits, you're clueless and that's not where I want to be.

Will keep you posted when I am able. Thank you for reaching out with so much love and support. You're a special person.

Love,
Lodi
