Sprang from Area 51

Howdy all,

I have been sprung from Area 51 (Roswell Park).  I feel great (thanks steriods and a unit of red blood).  No other side effects.  Doctor seems happy.

The plan is to get by the next couple weeks.  The doctor has scheduled me for a PET and CT scan during the week of 9/2.  He will give us the results on 9/9.  Those results will dictate whether a 4th R-DHAC will be needed or whether I push for SCT.

I stayed on the floor where recovering SCT patients were also recovering.  Obviously, I couldn't talk with any of them but there was one guy at the end of the hall who would put a couple post-it notes with riddles on his door.  I couldn't figure any of the riddles out but he also had a saying posted that I loved!  It said "I plan to live forever!  So far; so good!"  I plan to adopt that saying as well...loved it!

I appreciate everyone's support!  Know that I keep all of you in my prayers as well.

Karl

    Welcome back

    Welcome back!  Did you get any pictures of the aliens at "Area 51"?  I'm sure the men in black swore you to secrecy;).

    I love riddles by the way - still trying to figure the big one out - LIFE :).

    Hugs - Jim

    Yay!

    Hi Karl,

    It sounds like you are making great progress since you got on the correct treatment plan. I am so glad you are feeling well. 9/2 is right around the corner--things are moving very fast for you.

    (((Hugs)))

    Went over the wall...

    I'm glad you got out of Area 51 safely, Karl, and in good spirits.

    I work third shift, 10 hour gigs, so I will listen to the Coast-to-Coast AM  radio program, to see if ET is searching for any escapees.
