I'm a new man! I woke up with my feet hanging over the end of the bed, I must be at least six feet two, and my hair was so thick ... The transplant went off with out a hitch - - other than being delayed again because the weather dirverted flights into Houston. We still don't know where the magic beans originated, but we'll hopefully find out next year.

Everything started about 11:15 pm and we finished the infusion at about 2:00 or 2:30 am. I'm not actually sure because I was in a Benadryl induced stupor. Part of my pre transplant meds include 100 mg of Benadryl, that's many, many time the over-the-counter dose, it makes me really spacy [see I really am the same old guy] and tired, so I slept off and on through most of it. Pam's is really wiped out this morning. She was up throughout the entire process asking questions, making sure I was comfortable and making sure the staff taking care of me was "in a good place"

Stay tuned for more developments ... same bat time, same bat channel.

Love and gratitude to all of you.
