Doing well on Tue 10/5

Stefan is doing well.
Nurse came again this morning.
Dr. Olga called, said she wanted to see him in two weeks, on or about the 18th, to set up his time for his bone marrow donation procedure. And from there, schedule the next round of chemo.

He's off and running already... went to work yesterday. I'm sure he would have stayed the whole day, but they didn't get there till after 1pm. Yes, "they" - Daniella went with him, so she could drag him home after an hour or so.
From what I heard this morning, he was planning on going back today, after his meds. And he was going "alone." So, let him get some work done... two weeks at home fly by very quickly, and before he knows it, he'll be back in the hospital for another week of chemo. Let him get his work stuff organized... he's getting things organized at home too.

Blood draws are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Yesterday's blood draw showed an increase in his WBC, but I didn't get the numbers (Daniella had to take the call from the doctor and we had to hang up).

Appetite is up, energy is up. Attitude is good - always positive. He tells us that he doesn't need external motivation... A big part of me begs to differ... True, he may be the one motivating himself, but I believe a big part of his motivation comes from external factors. Five little ones, four bigger ones, and one really important external factor... and with those ten external factors are plenty of other external factors that over the years have come to be important to him. His five grandkids, his daughter, his son, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law and his wife... those are ten very important external factors that fuel his internal motivation. So, as much as he wants to say it, his motivation does not come strictly from within.
