Thurs. 3/22 at 6:50pm. My numbers are coming up. Yesterday had a blood transfusion and a platelets transfusion. After this mornings daily vials of blood my numbers are turning upward:the White Blood cell count was down to 0.6 for 2 days, now up 1.6 and climbing. Most important the neutrophils were at 0.0 for 3 days, now up to 0.6 and climbing. So, I hope to be released by Sunday barring any other setbacks. One fellow patient left an hour ago, he's been here 65 days. Brutal.
Today I got out the pastels to play. Strange. Last night Mark Rothko or one of his paintings was in my dream. This morning front page of the NYT Arts page is a Rothko painting Rockefeller is selling through Christies. So, I drew that painting, then played around with colors, shapes etc. Great fun. Also been practicing classical guitar. Yesterday a brazilian guitarist volunteer (Allessandro) came by and we played together. Fun. Tonight Carol is here. Its time for Jeopardy. Gotta go. More later.JIMBO

Jim,
We are so glad to hear the good news about your numbers. Hope to see you in Maplewood soon.
It sounds like you will soon be playing every guitar style ever known.
Love,
Matt and Erica
Hi, Jim -- Great news that the numbers are on the rise. Elfin is donating platelets tomorrow. That should send the counts sky high :).
See you soon.
Lots of love,
Debra
