"I've Got A Feeling"

I've got a feeling that everything is going to work out. I have been able to sail through all of my pre-transplant procedures and tests, and begin the consolidation phase with three days of radiation tomorrow. Leukemia patients who undergo a transplant have a second birthday on the day of transplant, my new birthday will be May 13th. I will end up with a new blood type, and hopefully an immune system that will keep me going for a long time. I am sending my last post from home for probably three months, it feels strange knowing that I will be moving away for long enough that when I return home everything will seem new. I do have a nice new laptop so I can communicate from the hospital, clinic, or apartment. Thank you to everyone who visited or sent well wishes to me and my family during the chemo phase, these past 7 months. The support kept us motivated. Please consider stopping by to see me after my new birthday if you have a chance. I won't know my assigned room at the U. W. Medical Center until Sunday night or early Monday morning when I am admitted- and will post that later.

• The Beatles two lead songwriters Lennon and McCartney decided early in their careers to give credit to each other for the songs they wrote or collaborated on. The relationship quickly became singularly focused and as a group they would come together and finish a song usually written by just John or Paul. Let It Be was their last studio album release in 1970, when break up rumors were swirling. John and Paul actually collaborated and combined two of their songs into "I've Got A Feeling." Paul contributes his love story part- I've got a feeling (about Linda) and John is more about how depressed he was at the time- everybody had a hard year (he divorced his first wife Cynthia, was addicted to Heroin, etc.)  The rooftop live version is worth a view, especially the comments of your average Londoner.   Live Happy!  Greg
