Well, I have my new stem cells in me. I got them today at around 3:45PM. Thank goodness it was uneventful. They say its like a new birthday. Judy and my sister Mary were here with me today helping me celebrate my Birthday:) That was a big plus, just seeing them. Yesterday was a different story though. I got my butt kicked yesterday, the chemo didn't get me sick, all the medication prior got me sick. My nurse did an outstanding job making sure I was OK. Taking care of me having seizures, passing out, and throwing up, she never once panicked. She was truly an amazing person. I do thank everyone for the prayers cause I'm pretty sure it could of been much worse. Please keep them coming.

Till tomorrow

Rich:)

    Man - you are really STYLIN' in those jams!! And what can I say but -- came IN with a bag... Hope the "birthday" was a good one and the first blast o'stem cells is providing the necessary boost. Foursomes for golf are booking faster than Grant took Richmond, so you gotta get outta there and make a grand celebrity appearance at the outing. Take care - talk to ya soon!
