Day 75

"Normal" isn't a word with much meaning anymore, but here we are, back again and well enough. I took John in for an outpatient check this afternoon. His white count was still .4, but he seems much better otherwise. His humor, color and appetite are improved and he seems much more at home. If you are competing with a hospital, it's not all that hard to look good. He had platelets infused this afternoon next to a guy who drove 2.5 hours to get her at 7:30 this morning and left to go home at 5:00. He comes back on Sunday.

John will be back for a check on Monday afternoon. His progress is slow enough that he will be weeks before he is likely to have his next chemotherapy. He decided today that he needs new pants, because he needs to drop another size to a 32 waist (6 foot,3 inches and 158 pounds), so we will need to get him some new jeans. All things considered, that's pretty good.
