Geraldine and her mother, Martine, just before being released
Hello again everyone. I have been out of the hospital since Thursday afternoon, and am staying in a very nice corporate apartment in Richmond.
The view here is incredible, and the apartment is a very upscale, furnished condo with assigned parking and 24 hour security. Although I do miss seeing everyone back in Norfolk, I am grateful to be out of the hospital with such a nice place to recover. Its important that I stay only a few minutes away from VCU Medical Center in case anything happens during the next couple of weeks.
Happy Holidays!
On to even better news. My counts continue to climb and I continue to make progress with healing and re-growing my bone marrow at a fast pace. The hospital staff has been very pleased and everyone is saying how far ahead I am in the recovery process. I still feel like it is going too slow sometimes, but then I get reminded how far ahead of schedule I am.
I feel very lucky in all aspects. I get to spend the holidays with my daughter and my parents. I have wonderful friends who have shown me huge amounts of support and love.
Thank you all, and I hope you all have happy holidays.

This is really great news! You cannot see the smile on my face as I write this, but use a little imagination. These silly emoticons are so inadequate 🙂 ! Keep up the “good work”. The news is a great present to us all on the Winter Solstice.
How do you do it? You have been through so much and still you look great. Your smile is quite infectious, and it is a great “condition” to catch. Can’t rightly call it a “disease”. Logically it would be an “ease”, I suppose, but no one would understand that. Have not yet seen the “bald look” on the model runways yet, but maybe they’ll catch on eventually.
Now about the reindeer get-up… Were any animals injured in making this ornamentation? You look like you may have a vehicle too. What kind of a license is required to drive it?
Your progress is very impressive, and I look forward to hearing more. Say Hi to Vivian, Martine, and Andrew for me.
Love,
Harvey
