An old friend of mine sent me a little travel watercolor set with paper and instruction book...to help with all the waiting.
I think she thinks, I have hidden talent.
I am a bit afraid of this set.
All the best thoughts for Greg tomorrow and all the days to come.
And, as for you and your watercolor set, if it seems a bit too much like work right now, the other thing that is relaxing is a coloring book and use your watercolors or colored pencils or both in it. You don't have to always color inside the lines!

What a thoughtful gift! You could discover a hidden talent - or just enjoy swirling color around on paper. Either way, I hope it makes you smile today.
Praying for a highly successful procedure and protection from all those things you don't want to encounter today.

My new look these days. Worn while in the room, and as I sleep. The sofa morphs into hard cot, but the price is right, and the staff very accommodating.
The first week for Greg is rather easy, but chemo is running at times and so far, so good. Around transplant day, effects should kick in. He is at -4 day, transplant day on Tuesday is day zero. Days after that are day +1 to + 100. 100 days post transplant the magic number.
Take care all.

All the best to you both. The procedures are among those I wish no one had to learn about...but, at the same time, so thankful they're available.

Pam C. This place is hopping! I believe there are 36 beds in the BMT unit. There were 14 admissions this week as of Wednesday. Every room seems to be in use.

The transplant took place about 4 am this morning. Greg called me at home at 3 am, and said it was starting early. It was expected in the early morning hours of 9/20. I go back to the hospital for another 5 day stretch.
Take care all.
