Long time no see or write

I made it home for Christmas. It was great to be with the family again even if I did take naps while I was there. We came back to the apartment on Sunday night. Today we had our 1st ITA after my hospital stay of 13 days or so, can't really remember exactly how many. I went in to the hospital because my sugars were out of control and my pain in my back was also sever. After many test and MRI's they found the problem with my back which was doing a nerve block. So I had another back surgery and they fixed another break. They changed my insulin and got the sugars under control. While I was in surgery Julie came to the hospital to rescue me and take me home! This is when I got to go home for Christmas.
Now back to the ITA appointment today. The doctor said things were looking good and I did not have to have any extra potassium and magnesium hung, they did have to do one bag of fluids. Rebecca and Daniel are just getting in to town tonight so it will be great to see them. Rebecca is going to be my new caregiver and is going to help me in the recovery process of getting my strength back and learning to walk with out help. Now I am off to get ready for bed, sorry I could not write more sooner.

Getting lots of "new things" and experiences

Will write about the last week or so........till I tire which is quickly.
GREAT NEWS
I am 100% en grafted with my donor cells. So when you take a blood test from me right now all you see is the grafted donor cells.
GOOD NEW
They found out what is wrong with the back and the pain. What they first thought was a small pressure fracture turned out to be four. And one of them wasn't so small the vertebra was crushed. Also the head of the spine dept. decided to take over my case so I was set with the best.
BETTER NEWS
They hospitalized me and lots of pain meds till the surgery could take place. So around 5 or so they began to operate and I was done around 9 or so that evening. Two incisions, some kind of cemement, stitches, tape and more pain meds. and I back at home in my hospital bed with a pain pump.
SAME OLD NEWS
I am now in the apartment. Still hurting some and relying on pain meds. I have to watch carefully when and how I move, sit, or lay.

To tired for any more. Hope you and your families stay well at this joyous season
