It's Monday noon, Jan. 22, & I received notice from a nurse coordinator at the University of MN clinic-hospital that (1) all 3 of my siblings were a "match" as donors for the blood-marrow transplant. It appears that my twin, Warren, will be the one to donate, with brother Al & sister Verna as back-up donors, if his physical & other tests don't measure up? I also was told (2) that I am to report to the University hospital on MONDAY, January 29, for preliminary tests & procedures, so Warren & I will drive down together on January 28.
The only telephone # I have is 612 / 273 - 2800, which is NOT a direct line to me. While hospitalized, mail can be addressed to me, c/o U of M Medical Center, Fairview, PCU 4A or 4B, 500 Harvard Street S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55455, which should be good for 4-6 weeks. After being discharged from the hospital, I will move to an off-site apartment for the next 100 days, with checkups daily at the clinic & 24/7 "care" from a family member or friend. While in isolation, visitors will be restricted, I'm told? Prayers welcome! Wes
