I have just received a new email update from Dave Bugg, and because of the many heartwarming replies and concern he received from forum members, so with permission I am sharing a portion of his relatively good news with all of you. Dave has spent nearly a month at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio undergoing a bone marrow transplant which is looking quite successful.
"I am now home, having arrived yesterday afternoon. The recovery time was quicker than had been expected, although the final evaluation of the treatments effectiveness won't be known for another 3 weeks. But so far, things are wonderfully optimistic.
It is almost surreal in a way being home. . . sorta like being on a boat for a while and then needing to readjust to being on land again
But it is a most wonderful sense of comfort and peace to be here and to have family around.
I actually feel pretty good, considering. I have been out walking to start to regain my strength back. I told Jill that Santa could bring me some muscle strength and energy as a stocking stuffer
I just decided that I need to start ever-so-slowly working into some level of fitness, no matter how long it takes. My Doc says its OK to be out walking, so why wait?
One thing had me spoiled, and that was the hospital mattress that I had in my room. My gosh, it was the most comfortable mattress EVER. . at least from my experience. I wonder if Santa has room in his sleigh for one of those?
Anyway, since the preliminary results are promising, I just will keep focused on what I know now, and take comfort in that information for the present. It also really helps that the arsenal of medications that I need to take during the day is being handled by Jill.
Thank you for all your support. I am doing well in both body (for now) and soul."
