During the time I was in treatment, I coordinated my doctor visits and chemo with another myeloma patient who lives about 25 miles from here. We traveled to Chapel Hill appointments together and, when we were told the only treatment left to us was a stem cell transplant, we had ours together through The Duke Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant (ABMT) Program in Durham, NC. We even had apartments next door to one another!
One of our doctors started calling us the “myeloma twins.”
I’m really glad to have just gotten the news that Joyce is moving to Pinehurst, which borders on Southern Pines (where I live)! She’ll only be a few miles away, so we’ll get to see each other more often.
Yay!




Buddy and I went to Martin Park in Southern Pines yesterday for a walk. He really had a great time, as you can see. Today is warmer and sunnier! I’ve been doing some chores in the house, but every chance I get, I’m going outside to soak up some sun. the forecast for the upcoming week indicates high temperatures in the 60s and even 70! The lows are creeping up too, with night time temperatures in the 40s and 50s. My favorite time of year is approaching. I predict that I’ll be getting the pool ready pretty soon.
