TRANSFORMATION ON THE TRANSPLANT FLOOR

GUY'S TRANSFORMATION
   Once you have committed to a stem cell transplant you are admitted to The Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant floor.'    
   Then two major things happen :
        (1)   You are tethered to an IV pole that will be your constant companion, best friend and weapon for the fight.  It is sometimes your walking stick for balance and sometimes your dancing partner. This is good.
        (2)   Second your looks will began to change at least for a while and this will force you to sort  your priorities.  Your vanities will dissolve into understanding & compassion for all others.  This is good.
    You have already seen Guy with his IV pole so now I'll show you his transformation.  We had a web site at the time where I posted his progress.  When he lost the hair on his head and grew a beard instead our daughter gave him a ear ring and posted his picture. We received so many comments that we held a contest and asked people to vote on the website if they liked his ear ring or not. The women loved it and the men hated it.  Of course it was a clip-on.  Frankly I liked it!
