Got home late yesterday afternoon after spending 5 days at Emory. All of the staff there were superb. Michelle and I want to thank everyone for their support, love and prayers. I can walk with a walker and shuffle a few steps without it. They said of the 11 patients to have had the procedure, I have had the most pain. They said that was due to the fact I had the most back muscle of the 11 patients. The good news is that I have not had any side effects from the drug cockatails I am on, which many patients have experienced. I am on about 30 pills a day, roughly 20 of them will be permanent and many of them are immune supressing so that my body does not reject the cells.
I am very grateful for all of my friends on this support who I know prayed for me, sent positive thoughts and showed Michelle and I immense kindness. Your support was felt and helped keep me strong during some of the low points when the pain was severe. Michelle would read me your responses to her posts and everyoe brought a smile to my face. It will take months or longer to know if the cells will make a difference so please keep the prayers coming.
Thanks again! Love Ted
