All were holding well since the stem cell transplant last Tuesday. There were slight discomforts which were taken care off by the doctors and nurses. Doc gave him home leave (only abt 6 hours.... hmmmm) on Saturday from 11am till 6pm. He was extremely happy for that break.
On Sunday, the counts all started to fall (the platelets, white bloodcounts and the red blood counts). As of today, 27th November, the white blood counts are 0.15 (normal range is above 4). All these are expected to fall due to the high dosage of chemo given earlier. Now the body's immunity is at the all time low which will slowly pick up.... his mood has also followed suit.
He requests for ideas (Plllleeeeaaaaasssee!!!!!) to kill boredom in an isolated room (keeping in mind the things have to be clean.... he doesn't like snake and ladder or other board games...) (Kev says: "In time to come, I may need an ambulance to transport me to a Mental Health Hospital for Depression!!!") Even resorted in giving a little Ben & Jerry's ice-cream to perk up the spirits!! Keep the creative juices flowing and post as comments... as the wife has currenty exhausted her brain cells.
Please keep my Sanity!!!!!!!! Hellpppp!!!! Buddies.....Family....Whoever!!!!! Help me!!!!! Aaarrrggh!!

Hey there, some ideas at the top of my head:
1) memorize all the latest prices of the cars in Singapore including the COE prices. Which do you prefer Torque or motoring magazine? I'll give you two weeks... then quiz time~ hheee.
I'll have more ideas real soon!!!
Hugs, dawn and alex
Hi Kevin,
Think of subject you always wanted to learn about, but never had the opportunity to, for one reason or another. From the history or Peranakan cooking to rocket science to religion, there is a plethora of subjects that you can pick up to learn about. One suggestion is to learn a language. Effective acquisition would typically require the use of various mediums (audio tapes, videos, and text) and investment in a significant amount of time, which is ideal for your predicament (boredom).
Otherwise, let us (your blog readers) know what else appeals to you in general, and we can better help you narrow down the choices.
Rest well. I'll come visit you soon.
Hahaha, sorry Kevin, I know that was a dumb suggestion!! Tai loong is alex by the way... :)
