Hi everybody,
Little update for ya!
Yesterday was my last day on the job. It was tough to say goodbye to many of the friends I've made at work. Wonderful people that have been so kind and helpful to me during this time.... as I attempted to remain a viable employee. :)
Thanks to all of you for your support and kindness.
Yesterday it just sort of "hit" me that I've now entered into a new chapter of this journey. It's all happened so quickly, and yet it seems like eons ago that it began.
Today was "orientation" day at the hospital. Saw the new digs, and went to a very informative meeting. I'm really liking the staff at the "transplant" unit of the hospital. Very kind, sincere and caring. It feels like a big family there and I know I'll be well taken care of.
We (Paula and I ) picked up the drugs and syringes before we left. We had some good laughs as always, and tomorrow at 9am I'll be having the first shot of the drug that pushes the bone marrow into the blood stream. Paula, and my good friend Lois will be double teaming. One to hold me down, the other to give me the shot! :)
Glenda and Bruce, thank you SO much for meeting with me the other night. (Two wonderful people that I had never met before, drove 2 hours to talk with me!). Thanks for sharing your journey. It was a tremendous help, and you two ROCK! I look forward to more times with both of you!
Thanks again to those that sign the guestbook. I can't express how much it means to me. I smile, I laugh, I cry.....it's all good medicine!
So, heeeeere we go!!
Hugs, Laurel
