    • Sounds like things are going well. I also feel like your spirit and attitude are good, and that is a big part of success. Have great days and be a great patient. You are in my prayers my friend.

    • Keep fighting, Austin. It's what Miners do. I'll pry for you, my man.

    I'm slowly getting stronger but not 100%.  My hair has not started to grow back and my beard is growing back at a faster rate than in the past.  I'm considering keeping the bald look.  Every time I get out of the shower I want to reach for my comb but there's nothing there. 

    Theoretically, I'll be able to return to work the middle of September.  Hopefully, that's true.  My students will be without me for five weeks starting tomorrow, the first day of school.

    • The fact that you are thinking about your students speaks to the quality of a man that you are. Have faith in those holding down the fort. I believe that your students will rise up to the challenge of catching up with their own personal hero for an example.  Keep doing God?s work.

    I have that problem and I haven't been through any of the stuff you have.  Let's not even talk about hair and ears.


    Glad you're still on a good path of recovery my friend

    • I have a head shaped like the royalty in Aztec land. I'm glad I still have hair to hide the pointy head, I could be the model for those companies that make road cones. LOL

    I can always wear a hat if I ever went completely bald, a cone hat though. ha, ha, ha. Even I think it's funny. It's my dad's fault I got that from him.

    • I had a follow up visit at MD Anderson Cancer Center this week. Almost all my blood test results were normal. A couple were where they expected them to be at this stage in recovery. Because the Stem Cell Transplant destroyed all my immunities, I have to get revaccinated for everything. They gave me a super dose of flu vaccine. Today I got a Covid shot (not the new booster).  I?ll get others as I?m directed to.

    • How are you feeling?  Can you tell a difference?  It sounds like everything is going as it should and you are being a good patient.  Glad that things are looking good.

    • I feel fine.  I still tire out easily and need naps but less and shorter.  I go back to MDA in three months for my next inpatient visit. 

    I've added walks in the morning when it's nice and cool to build up my stamina.  I bought an exercise bike but my wife won't let me put it up because it would go in our granddaughter's play area and she's not allowing that.  My granddaughter is 7 and will be 8 in a few months.  She hasn't used the play area in a while.  I can't win.

    • What part of the granddaughter?s play area are you having trouble with?  Move on.  The case is closed. The gavel has already come down. Next!
