Hello all or maybe just Tyler,
I received the results of my six month biopsy and I and completely cancer free. This is obviously tremendous news, but is all the more better considering that I relapsed about this time after my first transplant. I got another compression fracture in my spine so I have to wear my brace for a few more weeks? months? ... oh well. Most days I feel pretty good, but some are very hard and I sleep through most of those days. Sara and I spend most days going to appointments or trying to keep our house clean, which mostly falls on Sara because of my back, we also watch a lot of movies and are really into the Sopranos. Mostly we have just been loving spending good time together, like cuddling on the couch watching the World Cup or reading together. This is something that we have not had for literally years. It is so wonderful to just be and know that you can try to relax.
I am currently reading three books (hey I have to catch up). I am reading The Poisonwood Bible by Kingsolver, How Soccer Explains the World: an {unlikely} theory of globalization by Franklin Foer, and Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring: A Son's Struggle to Become a Man by Teddy Atlas. I was only reading the first two because I thought I had lost the third, which I was 2/3 done with anyway, but a magical girl at Kowalski's found it for me.
I have also gotten into baking bread, I try to make all kinds but I am mostly intrigued by sourdoughs. So, I have two sourdough starters and have made a number of breads from the first one, but I am getting ready to try the second starter which I made myself.
I am not sure what this blog is transforming into. I assume I have lost most of my audience, but maybe a few will check it now and then and I just might have something to say left hanging in cyberspace.
Love all,
JJ
