Good morning, Sheri! Well, now I’m feeling the warm fuzzies! Thank you for checking in with me.
The visit to the Mother Ship in Rochester was “Unremarkable”. Which, in the medical world, is the best word we can hear in a followup appt. Hah, not that I’m unremarkable. 😂 My poor doctor will remember me forever…I give him a run for his money. 😂
But in the leukemia/bone marrow transplant world, I’m in exceptional health. Yessss. Better living through chemistry! That’s for anyone who dreads the Chemo word! It works and buys us time!

The MRI showed my spinal cord has fully recovered from the demyelination of a few years ago. I still have electrical aftershocks, I call them. So I have an neuro consult coming up in June…bzzzzzt. Haha. I’m like an old classic car whose wiring has a short somewhere. We need to figure that out.

The highlight of the trip was being able to meet personally with two of my fellow Connect Mentors. We’re all patients at Mayo Rochester and our planets happen to align for followup appts, so we’d all be there together!! The breaks between appts allowed time for us to have a brief but meaningful and friendship bonding meeting!

I’m thrilled to hear Mr Sunshine is beaming his positive energy again! Helps when life returns to a level of normalcy. What are you up to?

Hi there! I'm so happy to hear that you are Unremarkable!!! What a treat to meet your Mentor friends. Hugs abound and are so good for the soul.

I have been working in our yard on the landscaping. I'm just a box of rocks. Since we moved here two and a half years ago I have put down about 120 plus tons of rip rap rock. I know each rock by name🙄 now I'm working on a small river for drainage. The weather has been awesome so its been nice.

Was the demyelination caused from your bone marrow transplant? Will you travel back to the Mother Ship? How far away is Rochester from you? OK, I've exceeded my question allowance for tonight 🤗
Val has his mid-way PetCT on Monday and Roind 4 Wednesday and Thursday. I hope that he is also Unremarkable 💓💓

Have a great weekend!
