Day +90

By Shannon | March 31, 2005

Wow .. it’s hard to believe I have not updated this journal in 3 weeks! I apologize for that, but I just have been resting alot and trying to get into work more often.

I did manage to ride 5 miles on my bike last Thursday (3/24). I did it in 25 minutes. I felt good afterwards, but paid for it over the next two days. I think I need to use a little slower pace for the time being. :)

My Peloton Project Donations have reached $4,107.00!! :)

It is going much better than I had expected. I still have much work to do though. I am hoping to put together a weekly fund raiser that involves Radio-Controlled Racing ( www.RochesterRC.com ). I am still trying to finalize the details on that.

Not really much else going on. We (Carrie & I) do not really care for being in LIMBO again and just hope the next 2 months go by fast. We’re very anxious to see if the transplant and radiation worked. It’s kind of hard for us to move forward at this point. Well I think it will be hard for either of us to move forward even after the news (good or bad). These last two years have seemed to fly by for me. I think they may be just as much a blur for Carrie as well. I am hoping the next 5 go by just as fast so we can just get told I am cured.

Terry Schiavo passed away today. It made me very sad. I don’t know what she was thinking or feeling, but to me that did not seem like living. I know I would not want to go through the rest of my life like that. I worry that some future treatment may make me like that. It seems silly having just come through treatment to have these thoughts, but they are there every day. Carrie and I talk about this alot lately. I am glad I have a Health Care Proxy in place, but I think we are actually going to get Living Wills done so that there are no questions as to what our wishes are.

Today is day +90 for me. It’s been 90 days since my Stem Cell Transplant. I think 100 days is a big deal, but I am not sure. I am thinking 365 without an incidence is probably a better goal to shoot for. :)
