My labs tell us how well my body is producing blood. And this month has been a good one with only a transfusion of platelets back on November 6th. However, I finally needed 3-units of red cells and 2-units of platelets this last Thursday that started in the afternoon and ended at 5:30 the next morning. It was important to be done by sunrise because I had a 7am schedule for hair cut and a pedicure!
I followed several meetings at the office with a scheduled visit with Dr. Sanatinia at mid-morning along with Kathy to review my progress. I seem to be producing fewer platelets right now and he wants me to have my blood checked while I'm in Florida in case I need more. I sure was hoping to have a week away from all this while visiting Mom and Dad.
However, I am very excited about seeing my brothers and my folks along with several aunts and uncles who are wintering in Florida. Mom will have about 15-people for Thanksgiving! My going to Florida for Thanksgiving was Kathy's idea... sure wished she was going with me. JW

Hi Whit!
Stopped by the office hoping to see you and the booth at the show. No luck, it's you and me on the golf course one of these days! I still have this bottle of Meerlust Rubicon SA wine for you guys when I can catch up with you. I am leaving for South Africa this weekend and will call you when I get back. Maybe a long way away, but my thoughts are always with you! Keep getting stronger and I'll see you in a few weeks.
Best
Hutch
