Heading to Big Bear

Standard

IMG_1395 (1)Well, I never thought it would get here, but I’m going to get my Stem Cell Transplant in a few days.  I get hospitalized at City of Hope on January 26, 2016.  Let’s be honest here, I’m scared about being hospitalized for nearly a month, then being in isolation.  And I’m really scared of the unknown.

So everyone is trying to keep me super busy until “The Big Day”.  Case in point, why not go to Big Bear for the weekend?  We were just there a few weeks ago and Jadyn loved learning to ski.  So here’s to a “chill” weekend of bonding time.

These past few months have been very difficult emotionally and physically.  I am now ready to get this Stem Cell Transplant behind me and move on with what is ahead.  So just wanted to give you a quick update.  Mark down your calendar:  Tuesday, January 26, 2016. Last words before departing up the mountain… thank goodness for Ativan.  If you’ve ever had to use it, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

    Everyone knows you well!
    Wish we could go up to see you while you’re in the hospital but we understand about the GERMS and all.
    Ativan for EVERYONE!

    Love,

    Pati

    Thanks for posting Deb, I was about to try and pry a post out of you. Just remember that just because it’s unknown to you, it’s not to the people who will be helping you get through this. Love you Levy! We’re all with you!
