Lottie: Going back to MDACC

[Guest guest]

Happy New Year to each and every one... Lottie your so right about little germ

factories, my little grandson (8mts)

has a cold this Christmas and with an ANC of less than 500 we thought that we

would buy all the Christmas fixins

and give them to the family, Kim would go over and help cook,  I would stay

home, just too many colds and

not enough ANC  WBC is around 2.3 which is good for me.  Still getting infused

with Plts twice week

and Hgb once weekly.  On the other hand feel good and wish spring was here. 

When I look at the harbour, it is so grey and cold looking, I just do not feel

like going out.  This Jan, I will be starting  my 34th year playing with CML.

 

Here is another of my poems that I wrote after getting out of the hospital so

many years ago..It is only a couple hundred yards to the harbour but I just get

too cold now.

Once again Peace Health and Love for 2011 to all

Forgiven In A Storm

Duffie

The lights from the heavens twinkle bright

as I sit and stare at the heavens light.

What splendor I see as the wind brushes me

and the white caps smash to the shore.

The wind picks up speed and snow starts to fly,

as the last of the seagulls let out their cry.

The heavenly view disappears out of sight,

A storm from the north will hit us tonight.

The wind rushes the snow hard to my face,

The night birds run in the wind with grace.

The fisherman all rush home to be safe,

and I am alone with Him.

Softly and gently He calls out to me,

as I sit there alone down by the sea.

He loves you the wind sings in my ears,

Calming and easing all of my fears.

My heart settles down to a soft easy pace,

no longer my mind running the race.

My future is certain I know without fear,

I am forgiven.

Hi Jackie,

I hope you enjoyed your holidays at home - germ free. I went to my son's house

and picked up something and paying for it with fever and phlegm on my chest and

mucous in my sinuses. There were some children there, and as Skip would say,

they are germ

factories. He was more on guard than I was. I didn't pick up any of them, but

they touch everything around them and that little finger goes right into their

little upturned noses.

I don't go back until the 10th or 13th. I called, but the holidays have put a

dent in everything, so I will have to email someone to set me straight. I called

the information desk and they have nothing, but I know it is wrong because they

gave me a printout before I left, so I have a general idea. Will have to go back

to staying in motels again, much to my chagrin, I liked the apartments and the

free bus ride. LOL

I know this must have been the best Christmas for you - ever. Take care and hope

to see you soon over there. We never did get enough time together to exchange

information, although I did keep up with your website. It was evident everyone

back home was waiting for news from you and anxious to see you again. Happy New

Year.

It was such a joy to meet your dad and talk to him.
