updates.
well it's monday and i am waiting for hackensack to call to see what the results of my flu test are and when i will be going in if things are okay.
i am getting hives on my face almost daily, i assume it's stress but this also has happened after chemo quite a bit. it is annoying and makes me even more tense.
i think some people are getting confused by blood and platelet donations VERSE a bone marrow donor.
I have a bone marrow donor. I have a 9/10 match. This is found through HLA typing and DNA -and my blood-it is very hard to find a donor.
BUT that is not just blood and platelets. The blood and platelets will help when I am going through recovery from the chemotherapy I will get that will kill off my cells. Because just as the chemo is intended to kill off bad cell (in my case leukemic cells) it also kills off my good red cells and platelets. It brings them down to very low levels, so I need transfusions.
I know this can get confusing, but I hope this helps.
I have a lot of friends who are great musicians/actors/artists.
One friend, Kristen Wilkens who has been so amazing-and her family-through this is going to be performing in a show in Oradell, NJ. The show is Proof for the Bergen County Players.
Kristen and her mom brought Alison and me groceries one day, which was amazing. -filled with yummy food-and also her mother had written this little note with a quote(that is now on my fridge):
There's a miracle of friendship that dwells within the heart
And you don't know how it happens or where it gets it start
But the happiness it brings you always gives a special life
and you realize that friendship is God's most perfect gift.
I have amazing friends that are just too many to mention but I feel that when something really special comes up that they are doing, I like to at least let people know. This has nothing to do with my medical fund. This is just an amazing person who I think you'd enjoy going to see.

just copy and paste that link.
I am really into getting the fundraisers together, and having people step up and get some going on.
Alison is getting some tee shirts done for me. I will display the way they look, once we have that finalized. One is of writing I did and another is a little bit different.
I also want to thank everyone that is going out to donate blood/platelets. It's so amazing. It makes me cry.
I need to go make my bed.
I was in this contemplative psychology class a year and half ago and the teacher was talking about how his teacher said "your room is yr reflection of yourself"...so there are definitely days when i want to throw things around and make it messy and leave the bed like that but that just makes me try to keep it together.
good day.
