Followup

Wed. Jan17. 6 pm.
Went back to MSK today to see Dr. Berman for checkup and see how the Chemo just finished is working. So far all ok. Counts are sinking. Put me on anti-biotics; warned about potential fevers/infections. Will return Fri. for another checkup and possible blood transfusion and/or platelets if needed. Have 2 weeks here to be careful. Feel better than I thought from the original descriptions. Am comfortable, calm, energetic. Practicing guitar and bass a touch. Diabetes seems more calm now. Under control. Had some amazing food from John; chicken and stuffed cabbage. John calls or shows up everyday to support us. He's on a gig in Charleston now but such a supportive friend. Thanks, man. Carol handles an amazing amount of details. I'll skip the HNA dinner tomorrow. Have to kinda isolate myself for a while. Rebekah took the train up Mon. to see us in the hospital and help me come home. Felt so good to have her here. Spoke to Maayani today. What a sweetie. Saw Randi and Dylan today on their way to see Bernie in Englewood Hospital. He's doing good.
Digging more music DVDs. Michael Brecker with John Abercrombie, Peter Erskine and Marc Johnson live at the Vanguard; Bela and Victor etc. Steve was here to digit too.
Well, here's to a calm few days ahead. Looking forward to when I can go out and drive again, play a session etc. Hopefully in 2 weeks. Tonight the Big Band is playing at the Veterans Hospital.
Peace. JIMBO
