A Final Date (Hopefully)

I got "good" news yesterday morning. The donor has finally confirmed and they have reset my transplant date. The new date is April 9th (well, five days after that). This pushes everything back, but at least this time it is final. I start back next week going to the doctor every couple of days and I have an entire day of testing coming up. I wish it was a test over the material that has just been taught, but no. There is no way to prepare for these test. A day of EKG's, ECHO's, pulmonary function tests, physical, CT scans, blood tests, bone marrow biopsy's, and lumbar punctures (spinal taps). All of this in one day...aren't I lucky. I hope that things will go smoothly. I'd really be grateful if you could keep me in your thoughts and prayers on that day (March 18). Other than fighting the cancer my life has been pretty much the same as it has been. I have joined a writing group up in Atlanta. I had forgotten how much I loved to write and share my thoughts with others. There is a safety in exposing yourself to strangers. We have fun. All the other writers are older than me and have much more experience than I, but we still learn from each other. :) I love it. I have some fun news. If you haven't seen me in a while I guess this won't be as exciting for you, but I'm sharing none-the-less. My hair is growing back! Not just on my head, but my eyebrows are coming back and I have a tiny little fuzz on my forearms... no leg hair, armpit hair, or eyelashes yet. :( But I'm super excited about my hair growing back. I'm not longer Lex Luther (the Kevin Spacey version). The funny thing is that it seems to be coming back lighter. Hmmm...could we have a blonde Indian on our hands...?
