So far, so good

 This will be something new. My transplant has another hour or so before it's finished. I'm sending this blog with my phone.  Since my thumbs can cover half the keyboard at a time, please forgive some inevitable typos.  I'm currently in a corner exam room on the fifth floor of the SCCA building.  It's already dark outside but there's lots of activity inside.

The infusion started at 4:20 which was about 50 minutes ago.  Things are going well. They check my blood pressure and temperature every 15 minutes. My son David is sitting at my side in case something goes wrong.  So far, there have been no bad reactions such as fevers, chills or shaking. It feels perfectly normal.  They will continue to monitor my status over the next few days, including the weekend.  I have appointments on both Saturday and Sunday. I was hoping to leave town for the weekend with a hope that they don't notice but I don't think I can get away with it this time.

So far, so good.

    Wow, I've been thinking about you all day and you've posted already. It's great to see you looking good and smiling in your beside Selfies. Can't wait to play worried man blues for you...well, I CAN wait, it is pretty disjointed, sad playing, but maybe by next summer.
