Update for friends
I've been out of the hospital for 3 weeks and I'm very happy about that, but the folks who are monitoring my blood levels are not happy. My hemoglobin has dropped from 98 to 79 in just one week so the oncologist is concerned that there is a small internal bleed going on. She has ordered me back into the hospital on Friday to have another transfusion to try and bring that number up. I'll just be in for the day so it's not a huge deal.
Greg and I are going to visit the Memorial Society this afternoon to let them know what we want done after I'm gone. We found we can pre-pay for their services now to lock in the current price. The Red Cross finally had a wheelchair available for me so now I have more mobility, going out to appointments is less stressful for me when I know I don't have to walk any great distance.
I talked to my mother last night and she encouraged me to go ahead and book our seats to fly to Vancouver for the wedding. Apparently we still have a credit with Westjet from when we were going to go home at Thanksgiving so after we use that up the tickets should only cost about $300 for the two of us. We're going to rent a car as well to haul around the wheelchair and not have to impose on Mom or Kelli.
I posted a public update in Greg's journal for my co-workers, I'm not ready to tell people at work that my case is terminal. I'll wait until I'm safely on long-term disability before I let them know.
