Steve gets some good medicine for a change





After receiving lots of bone marrow-busting drugs, Steve finally gets some bone marrow-building medicine in the form of a t-bone steak.
The steak is from a beef critter raised at Don Eskelund and Heidi Jacobs’ farm in Winslow. This hunk of delicious red meat will surely boost Steve’s red blood cell production, and he likes it too. I could see him pink-up as he ate it.
He’s getting stronger and more like himself –  especially when it comes to food. Not only did he cook this fabulous lunch, but he’s been talking about recipes quite a lot. Seems he’s making up for lost eating time.
And another thing he’s happy about, he has this whole week off – the trip to Boston for the bone marrow biopsy is rescheduled for next week. Bone marrow biopsies two weeks in a row would be a bit much.

    1. Love that pumpkin cake recipe from the magazine -- just made it yesterday. He's eating lots of it. Trying to get that weight back on.

  3. He looks a lot better than last time you saw him a few days ago. You think?

  4. Hi Steve and Gina,
    I have been following your blog for the last couple of weeks, ever since I found out about your diagnosis from our mutual friends in Mercer. How wonderful it must be to be home! I remember only too well from not so long ago when I went through a similar experience at B&W during the month of November and how it lifted our spirits to arrive home in early December. Best wishes for continuing progress on the road to recovery. I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well!

    1. Hi Kay,
      I too have been thinking of you knowing all you have been through. Hope to see you in the sauna this winter!
