Back in the late 1960's David Crosby was a member of The Byrds, Stephen Stills a member of Buffalo Springfield, Graham Nash was with The Hollies, and last but not least Neil Young was a member of Buffalo Springfield plus a solo star. They got together with some session musicians and formed Crosby Stills Nash and Young in 1970. Their first album was titled Deja Vu. I like the song of the same title, but chose a Neil Young unheralded song Country Girl as my song of the post today because it shows the unbelievable four part harmonies CSNY could do when they were "in tune." Today's post is titled Deja Vu because of course we fell like we've been here before.
It's been a wild ridefor Yvonne and I Since I last posted March 24. I ended up being admitted to the U. W. hospital later that day with a blood infection. While at the U.W. I developed another blood infection and had my central line catheter removed and eventually replaced. I was released March 30th and happily went home. When we went into the clinic the next day things went O K, the Doctor told us that there was potential good news we would hear by Friday about a new donor being found for me. We were caught a little off, he saw we were a bit puzzled and thought U.W. doctors had told us that my scheduled donor had been disqualified. Someone forgot to tell us while I was at U.W. Last year I lost the first scheduled donor too, Fred Hutch folks scrambled and eventually found a donor for me. We found out Friday that donor #2 was also DQ'd. We were given some hope that a third not quite matched donor was being worked on, hopefully we will know by early next week if the transplant is still a go. All of the testing including a very revealing testicular radiation screening session is only good for thirty days. If I am delayed with a donor by as little as two weeks then we repeat all of the testing and probing again. The folks at the Hutch do their best and are confident as always, so we are hopeful going into next week. Our weekend is looking up, we are heading east to escape the gray and rain visiting Mikhael who took Sadie for us for two weeks. We will probably bring her back with us for luck.
