I was released from Baylor/All Saints the afternoon of Thursday the 11th and it is good to be home. They would not let me leave until I was fever-free for 24 hours. I must admit I was beginning to think of escape routes if they had not released me because I was very tired of the hospital. The nurses and staff were wonderful but six days is a long time and I had other things I wanted to do. I feel great and dialysis went well this morning.

As A.G. said, the biopsy showed I do not have leukemia and we are thankful for that because one form of cancer is enough to deal with at a time. Add the amyloidosis on top of it all and my plate is pretty full. It did show that the stem cells are there but just taking longer to get to work. It showed I had chemo and have had a great deal of trauma to contend with. Nothing we did not already know other than the absence of leukemia and that is a good thing.
