Paradise found

Well we just got in today from sunny florida and it did live up to its name, the sunshine state.
We had terrific weather the whole 12 days and I can honestly say this is the first real "R and R"
we have had since Tim's diagnosis. We have not been away from home for that length of time
since our wedding/honeymoon and a long vaca like that really helps you to leave
your "to do" list behind. Disney was magical and it was terrific to spend some time in the Keys
with relatives. Perfect setting, great company, real "lower your blood pressure" type stuff.
Only downfalls: Olivia looks like she has the measles as she is just covered with bug bites and I
came down with a cold for the Key Largo leg of the trip that Tim may be getting now. I'm grateful that is all. The flights were fine. I can't say I like to fly and I definitely get sweaty palms
especially during take-off but I did really well and Olivia loved it and wants to fly everywhere now. Unfortunately we have to get back to reality now. Tim has to decide about an allo transplant
and his doctor is now urging him to consider a full allo. Everytime we think we have a plan,
we get another option/suggestion thrown at us and it leaves us even more confused and over-
whelmed. This myeloma business is just one big gray area and it really stinks. It's hard to make
any kind of educated decision because the field is constantly changing and the results are not
necessarily all in on the modern treatments of this disease. I feel that the protocol Tim has already been through will be changed very soon(or already has been) and I'm frustrated with the feelings
of "wishing I knew then what I know now" as far as his induction therapy and
auto transplant goes. Can't go back. Oh well. Back to the world of errands, housework and
doctor's appts. Rats!!!
