"It's Day # 87 since the transplant. I go to the clinic twice a week to get checked out (lab tests and readings) and so far I am improving and everything is looking good. I have been back home from the hospital for six weeks, and each day longer is a success.
"This picture shows 'Mister Bill,' which some may recall from older episodes of the Saturday Night Live TV show. He was a claymation cartoon character that always seemed to have bad luck. His signature line was a high-pitched, 'Oh, no!'
"In each episode, something awful would happen to him: car accidents, falls, and other injuries. Yet he ALWAYS somehow managed to pull himself together by the next week for a fresh start.
"Our friends James & Claudia saw this Mister Bill figurine while shopping and immediately thought of me. So they bought him and presented him to me as an unofficial mascot. While hanging out with Mister Bill, I try to build up my strength and get healthier. I have a ways to go, but as you can see from this posed photo, I am getting stronger every day!"
