long time no talk, but that is my fault. I've been in a medical induced coma for the last 5 days or so, and finally came out of it on Christmas Day. The actual term for the state I was in, is called p r e s. It pretty much made me completely unresponsive to everything going on - I was aware of everything going on, but absolutely unable to respond. People would talk to me, yell at me, and I knew it, but could say and do nothing. By the time I'd got to the point where I'd broken through on Christmas Day, I was totally freaking out and thought that I was stuck in a cloud. It was very scary. This is the first time I've ever had an experience like this and I hope it is the last. By the way, I had my transplant while all this was going on, and I'll know in about 3 weeks whether this was successful or not. In the time being, I'm doing as well as can be expected.
Take care everyone, thanks very much for all your good wishes and kind thoughts and I'll write again soon. Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2011.

Dear Kurt,
Sometimes we want time to stand still, and that's mostly when we are enjoying something in particular, but now I want it to race to three weeks time when it will be clear that the transplant was successful.
I can only imagine how helpless Evey feels when she sees you in the condition you were just in. It has to be so painful for her too.
You are both in our thoughts continuously -
God bless -
Lots of love and prayers --
