Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

Yesterday was my first appointment with my nurses.   I'm part of the LIME team.   The center was hip, clean, busy and extremely well-organized.   One got the feeling:  Bone Marrow Transplant?  No big deal.  0.0 Immunity?  No problem.   We have lots of patients with that.

They drew my blood.  Interviewed me.  Examined me.  Educated me.  Made several appointments for me. As expected, they still have to run more tests on me.   Today I meet my LIME team doctor.   Tomorrow I have another bone marrow aspiration.   In a few more days, I will have their diagnosis.   Easy in.  Easy out.

In the meantime, I have decided to have a yoga marathon day today.   Now that I'm not quite so exhausted from the traveling, I am inspired to practice as much as I can today.   Pranayama.   Mild supported backbends.   Supported Inversions.   Twists.   Every liver releasing pose I can think of in hopes that my bone marrow will revive before the tests tomorrow.    

Om. Shanti. Shanti. Shantih.  Hare Om.
