Today is Day 84.

Had a good talk with one of my Vanderbilt stem cell doctors yesterday morning. I asked and he told me that I can get the COVID vaccination after day 100! Additionally he made it very clear that I need to get the booster.

As of now, unvaccinated bone marrow/stem cell transplant patients have a 40% chance of death from COVID if not vaccinated!!!!!

I got the flu vaccine about 20 minutes ago. There were several people waiting for boosters. All Pfizer, it seemed. There's reason to believe that last winter's social distancing, banning of activities, and masking nearly eliminated flu. This winter there may be less immunity among the general public and the vaccine may be less good than usual--people who determine which strains will be covered had thin information to rely on. Flu was searched for, as usual, but not much was found.

Fooking Yay, , , , , , , !

Yesterday was Day 90 and my lead Doctor told me that I will "Graduate" next Friday, the 29th! I'll be home Saturday night. !!!! He told me that he is sure that I'll be Okay and not to worry about anything as Vanderbilt/VA has the highest success rate in the USA !!!!!
It has been a long 4 months but, I will miss the fantastic medical folks here at the Vanderbilt VA (I am in love with so many nurses, they are poetry in motion !!!).!

Vanderbilt seems to have a huge medical reputation. On the side, Dolly Parton was treated for something at Vanderbilt's hospital and became a friend of her doc. The doc brought a promising covid vaccine that needed funding to her attention. She provided a million. Moderna, I think. Welcome back.

Today is Day 96.

Had my final EKG and MUGA Scan this morning, saw my Nurse Practitioner (NP) and talked with one of my Vandy doctors.

Tomorrow I have my final Pulmonary Functions Test (PFT) and then go downstairs to have my final PET scan !!!! And, as such, That Is IT !!!!!!

I go in Friday morning to see my NP and then have a sit-down with the lead Vandy Doctor and my new "Long Term Care" NP. Then "GRADUATION" !!!!! I'll be home Saturday afternoon.

I told my nurses that I love them and will surely miss them but that if I never see them again it will be too soon !! LOL. LOL.

I still have to do 2 courses of "light" chemo in Lake Nona; the first course is scheduled for 3 days next week. NO PROBLEMS but, it is Vandy's way of doing things given that I "had" MDS and a donor transplant. It is all good. Again, the lead Vandy Doc told me that I should have nothing to worry about; I'm in very good shape and Vandy knows that they have the highest success rate in the nation !!

The journey continues, but this time it's in a positive direction.
