May 9 Day 14

Hi everyone,
I still felt good today but had a little queasiness around lunch time. I had a tuna sandwich and it didn't agree with me. I was asked by the recreational therapist to play and sing for some of the patients but when I told him all I know is Christian music, he said thanks anyway. They can't have a hospital run meeting with Christian music. Maybe I should learn some other songs as a kind of gateway into Christian music, we'll see. I went to a group session today and when the therapist said that we were going to toss a beach ball around, I thought it was kind of stupid. Much to my surprise it was really fun and actually a workout for us too when we started hitting it like vollyball! I got to meet some of the other patients and that was cool because it made me feel like I wasn't the only one having to go thru all this, and some had been here a lot longer than me. Deb and my sister Carol and my neighbor all got the house cleaned and so that is out of the way now. Thank you so much Carol!!! The carpets and couches have been cleaned and the AC is working good, so now all we need is to get me home!!! LOL! I am not so anxious to go home this time because I want to be healed and the Graft vs. host disease can be very serious and even deadly so I'm not going to try to hurry them along. The lady in the room next to me got to go to the village today and we all made a big deal of it. Its really hard to stay in a hospital room for such a long time, it starts to get in your head and play games but you can't let it. Thats a pretty big struggle for us here and along with all the symptoms it can be very depressing so they watch for that too. Thanks for all of your prayers and God bless you all!
IN HIS HANDS,
Ernie
