SATURDAY - Yippe Yeah! Finished my last round of chemo about 11:30am, doctors came to review things and complete my discharge orders, got disconnected, reviewed all discharge stuff and we were on our way and home by about 2pm. Oh boy, does it feel great or what.
I am feeling better than after any other time I was released...this was #7. And, I don't have many meds to deal with...just a few.

Photo 2 - All chemo IV's checked off my white board plus my record of laps for the week that I was kind of proud of. 
Photo 3 & 5 - Dawn hauling stuff out.
Photo 4 - Just a sorry example of my anal-ness. I even brought some twine in my hospital kit to tie the nurse/lights/TV remote to my bed so it would always be handy and I wouldn't have to always fish around for it.

So what's next? Just hanging out and recovering. It's likely all my numbers will take a digger in a few days and I'll have to back off as I recover from the accumulated chemo. Dawn is taking off all week which will be quite nice. And, I'll be back to doing blood work 3 days a week at Dr. Singh's. 

I think Monday we'll be talking about what the future holds: the risk factors and the chances of leukemia coming back. It's gone now, of course. There is certainly some risk that it can rear it's ugly head again. But, I'm prepared for that; plus there is another treatment protocol available. 

Keep praying! I do know that if I can get through the next year without anything happening that's a really great outcome. But, I'll keep you updated. 

Steak on the grill and sweet corn for supper tonight. Wow. 

Love you all,
Bob
