New York, New York

We Made it to New York last night about 9:30. It wasn't so bad as we were still mentally on Mountain Standard Time. We are staying at the Affinia Gardens Suites about five blocks from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital.

We had a very tender Mercy experience at the airports. We drove up Sunday night and stayed in a hotel near the airport as it was supposed to (and it did) snow on Monday morning. I had a terrible evening and was unable to sleep because of the pain in my legs. Ed said "let's just call it off." But in the morning, I felt better and we just went to the airport. So happily I did not have any major pain issues at the airport. Maybe it's because prayer of prayers and blessings. And maybe it was because of Tylenol Tramadol and Lidocaine patches. We left no stone unturned.

We were also able to upgrade to first class on both legs of the flight. That made an amazing difference on my legs as well. We were delayed so long in Salt Lake that we missed our original Denver to New York flight. But we were able to catch one only an hour after we got there. It was an extra thrill to have to be De-iced twice as well.

Our appointment is at 4:30 today and we have a bunch of tests tomorrow morning, my favorite of which is another bone marrow biopsy (my 8th, but whose counting?)  We're enjoying our little one bedroom kitchenette. Ed's sitting in the recliner now, but I'll be needing it after my biopsy tomorrow!
