Day - 3 the day of the squid

Well we have had a couple of productive days Thursday morning I got my bone morrow tested which requires drilling a hole into my hip bone and sucking out the bone morrow.  sounds easy enough however hurts allot and has a weired feeling when he pulls the morrow out.  Then off to Ann Arbor to have the Octopus put on my chest This device will be used first to harvest my stem cells because it has 3 ports so they can pull blood out,  remove the stem cells, then return the blood with out stem cells all the while using another input to feed me drugs.
 
We got to Ann Arbor at 6:00 pm Thursday night because we needed to be at the Cancer center by 6:30 in the morning.  Started the procedure by 7:30 the Cutter was Yi Fong of course I was careful not to share with him how much I enjoyed working with Peter Chang at Stryker.  The hospital continues to impress me it is a very relaxed atmosphere and still very professional.   Before we left we had training on the care and feeding of my Octopus which is very complex.  
 
So now I'm sitting on the couch with a sore right But cheek and a sore left shoulder, this continues to allow me to milk this sickness and get my family to wait on me I just moan a little and they come running.
 
The next step is to harvest my Stem cells which will start Monday the average time to get the required amount is one or two days so we will return from Ann Arbor Wednesday morning after we return Sunday afternoon.
 
I continue to feel Gods hands in this Journey and I will face what comes with this in mind, I will also wine as required.  God bless everyone and please keep the prayers up.
