One Hundred Days…

Today is my 100th day since my bone marrow transplant. I have been home longer than I was in the hospital. I am getting stronger every day, though not as strong as I had hoped I would be at this point. I want to be able to walk around the store without using the electric cart or a wheelchair. I know it will take time.

I did get wonderful news from my bone marrow biopsy… no leukemia showed up and the transplant cells are still working! woo hoo!

On the writing front, I wrote a kid’s short story. This is the first piece of fiction I have written since I was diagnosed. Hopefully my muse is coming back. I need to read it to my 7-year-old to see if it passes the kid test.

uhoh, he might just be my toughest critic!

      I know it went by faster than I thought it would! The story is on its way.

    Rissa, I’m so glad things are getting better. I have been thinking about you and praying for you daily.

    You know, I up voted this on Networked blogs, and I read it more than once, and I still, somehow, never managed to leave a comment. You know that I think this is fantastic. We’ve talked privately too, so I hope you don’t mind I missed commenting here! congrats a little late on the 100 days!

    Now, let’s add about 100 * 10000000 more!
