Day 5. Yesterday's Aha Moments
Aha Moment Number One.
After wondering why no comments had been posted on this blog, we realized our error! We needed to "accept" comments before they were published. Oops. We were so relieved to know people were responding to our posts. The silence had been deafening! Many thanks to everyone who has sent good wishes, comments, and suggestions.
Aha Moment Number Two.
After driving to Davis in 105 degree heat (with no car air conditioner), we realized that we probably should schedule morning appointments. Richard was flushed, lightheaded and a little confused after the ride. We walked into the doctor's office and felt like we had just walked into a meat locker. The cold never felt so good. On the way home, with the windows wide open and the hot air circulating around us, we reveled in the ag scenery from the causeway.
More underrated things: The comfortable and comforting silence between two companions.

Dear Richard & Robin,
so glad you have this blog i am fixing to get ready for my stem cell transplant -just in the beginning stages. Just got thur with all pre test am fixing to go in for a bone marrow biopsy-Yuck. Did Richard have one? They say they are gonna give me versid Does it work and will i feel pain. After that they will let me know when i will have my stem cell transplant but everything is done out-patient. No stay in hospital-which i thought was unusual- after reading about other peoples SCT. Let me know what you think. It will be done in San Antonio. Wish you the best for Richard.
Sincerly, Susan

Richard and Robin,
My mom, Jacqui, just sent me the link to your blog and also Gracie's. It is such a good idea to keep everyone up to date and to get support from all over. The writing is great, Robin. I will be following along to see how you are doing and sending my prayers and thoughts to you both.
Love,
Adrienne
Looks Good Richard,
I will be following you into baldness in probably about 2 years. Of course, I won't be shaving my head but will instead will rely on father time and genetics to lose my hair.
