Day 105 and All is Calm

This morning we started with a breakfast of champions, hot muesli, fresh mango, oranges and two leftover buckwheat pancakes with peanut butter. Tea for me. Coffee for Jim. It was delicious and healthy. Luckily we ate late enough that the kitchen had cleared out and we had it to ourselves.
After breakfast I did two loads of laundry. Pretty soon I will be home in my own kitchen and using my own washing machine. Who knew that would be so exciting?

We didn't do much today. Busy work on the computer and making an appointment with a new doctor to follow Jim's progress when we return home. Dr. Sauter, Jim's transplant doctor, has a colleague at Georgetown Hospital that he would like Jim to see. We will alternate every other visit between MSK and Georgetown.

In the afternoon we sat out on the patio and talked with Cathy and Kurt, friends we have gotten to know since being on the transplant floor together. They are scheduled to go home the day after us. And my friend Lloyd and her husband are returning to Indiana on Saturday. We all talk about how joyous it will be to finally go home but it will also be scary to be so far away from Memorial Sloan Kettering.

After dinner I had a 30 minute massage. Volunteer students from the Swedish Institute of Massage generously donated their time to give massages to the residents and caregivers. Jim had signed up also but decided to give his slot to someone on the waiting list. He missed a good thing. I only wished it had been longer.

Tomorrow is an important day. Jim will have a PetScan at 9:15. Good thoughts and prayers everyone!
