This is the first post from our bone marrow experience in Dallas. We have been in Dallas since Friday, but we have been out and about celebrating Jeramy's 35th birthday, so I have not had an opportunity to update my blog on this experience.
Friday night we went out with Kyle, April and other friends to Top Golf The Colony. It was a very pleasant experience and we had a very enjoyable time catching up with friends and touching up my golfing skills (or lack there of). I still managed to get 3rd place out of the 9 of us :).
Saturday we went to brunch at Whiskey Cake. It was probably one of the best places we've eaten in terms of restaurants. I will plan to return there. We then did a little shopping over at Academy before we took the DART rail down from Plano to Uptown and decided to hop on the free trolley to traverse the area to see about finding a location to watch the Belmont Stakes race. We stopped by McKinney Avenue Tavern (or MATs) that is owned by Big Al Mac from the Kidd Kraddick radio show. It was quite possibly the worst experience we had ever had, so we took our business across the street where we were treated kindly and were glad to spend our money. That waitress probably received more tip from us than the other waitress working on the frat party across the street (I've bartended before and I know how Frat parties don't tip). Thankfully we were able to partake in watching the race with no interruptions and great seating and delicious food. It ended up being a much better time than it started out as. Our time out was limited due to Jeramy experiencing side effects from the Filagrastim injections he has been receiving for the past few days, which cause him to experience bone pain, muscle aches and fatigue due to over proliferation of stem cells in his bone marrow. It is funny because now I am on the other side of it, whereas just a few months ago I was the one who required constant supervision, etc.
Today we woke up early and Kyle cooked breakfast for us before we went down to Shops At Legacy and did some shopping and then finished off with lunch at Razoo's. We went and saw the movie Entourage and then Kyle dropped us off at the hotel on his way back to Rockwall. The remainder of the evening will involve room service and movies since both Jeramy and I are incredibly fatigued from all the weekend activities and need to spend some time recovering before we start up with the next phase. My next blog update will likely happen Tuesday or Wednesday because I am not sure what to expect the next few days. Thank you to everyone who has been super supportive of Jeramy and we are so excited to Be the Match for someone in need. This could be the life saving measure for someone and I am so incredibly grateful that I get to be a part of this experience.
