Day 94--MAD DOCTOR CREATES BALD ZOMBIES!

Actually, this is a shot of our wonderful Dr. Tse, checking Torger out at the Bone Marrow Infusion Clinic today. We were in there for Torger's blood draw, and he popped by. In addition to some poking and prodding, he took time to answer some of Torger's questions about brain fungus and other scary subjects. He said that recovery and avoiding problems is as much about logic and common sense as it is about medical miracles. We just have to continue doing what makes sense, based on all we know about this disease. He also told us that the molecular analysis of Torger's bone marrow showed that just before the transplant, even after all the chemo, there were still trace leukemia cells visible. But post-transplant, there are none. We didn't really need reassurance that we'd made the right choice in going forward with the transplant, but this is still really good to know. The fellow sitting in the curtain next to us, "Mike from Cleveland," told us he'd just bought a new furnace filter system for his house, for the exact same reason Torger and I are yanking out carpet. We're all trying to do what we can.
