I got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon, and we were both so exhausted, we disconnected the phones and slept for four hours. Except for feeling weak and sore, I am doing well. I cough a lot from being on that awful respirator, and that hurts the incision. Then Jimmy makes me laugh, with things like trying to figure out how to turn on the stove, and that hurts, too.
This is The Plan: Monday, Feb. 16th, we'll go to Atlanta, and Tuesday Jamey will go with Jimmy to Emory for his scheduled 60-day checkup. Wednesday, Jimmy will take me to Emory for a PET scan and a bone marrow biopsy, to make sure we're not overlooking something. The following Tuesday we'll go back to Emory to meet with Dr. Lonial, whom I credit with saving Jimmy's life, and having processed all the data, will spell out our plan of attack. We expect that I will start chemo ASAP, for a few months, which I'll get here in Valdosta.
I love a good plan.

If anyone has the strength, inner and outer, to beat this, it's you girl!! Thinking of you (and Jimmy), and never forgetting how both of you were there for us when my sister-in-law was diagnosed with MM. With lots of love, hope and best wishes flowing down from north of the gnat line ... Louis Polonsky
