Just a quick hello...

I just wanted to drop a line to all of you guys and try to keep radio silence to a minimum.

Things have been going really well on my front... The steroid treatment that I have been receiving to drain the fluid from heart is working well, and we seem to be on track to take another crack at round 2 early next week. The real telling signs that this working for me is that every day can do a lot more without feeling winded... of course i am doing things at my own pace... definitely slower than i would normally do.. but hey its my pace and thats how fast i am going...

It was funny the other night I went to my first Capitals game since I got my diagnosis and it was really fun to be out there... but that setting where I spent most of the season briskly walking up stairs, or hustling through the concourse, was quite reminder how different my strength and fitness at the moment... I was definitely taking my time and meandering around a bit as i tried to stay out of everyones way... didnt really work too well, but i really dont care :) i had a good time at the game.

Yesterday I took advantage of the last of the predicted good weather and did some some pruning in the yard to clear away some of the storm damage from the blizzards, but most importantly went on lengthier walk with my folks along the C&O canal here with my folks to celebrate there anniversary :)...

It has been a very few good days to rest and recover, but also do things that are not leukemia focused... :)

Take care everyone... i will have an update in a few days... :)
