According to the schedule posted in my room, yesterday [August 27th] was supposed to be a day for RELAX & REST. It didn't quite work out that way. I had some fevers and we had to pack me with ice to get my usual 103 fevers back to normal. All was well today, just some normal drugs.

Tomorrow is SHOWTIME. The transplant goes on sometime tomorrow, we're not sure when. According to Amy, the cells will be harvested then immediately sent via special messenger to MD Anderson where they will process them [I don't know what that means] then give the cells to me.

The actual transplant is a fairly ordinary process, I get an IV of a nominal number of cells. the process is supposed to take less than an hour. That's when the real action starts. We'll be in the hospital until ENGRAFTMENT, that's when the new cells actually become mine and start working to create new cells that will do their magic.

We don't know exactly what time the transplant will take place, but when we find out we'll post it here right away.

SHOW TIME tomorrow!
