Repost from @jordymadd - On July 25th my dear frie

It’s been 5 years since my bone marrow transplan

It’s been 5 years since my bone marrow transplant, so I went through and found a few pictures from back then that I think tell the best story. I’m not sure how these five years have passed so quickly, but I sure am glad to be here, still trying to heed the advice of one very smart, rockstar doctor: “do something every day that makes you happy.”
.
1. A couple of days after the transplant when the @buffalosabres came to see me! 🏒
2. @benricheycreative’s view of the amazing shots he took during the whole process, featuring the bag of actual cells from my donor, Roberto 🥰
3. Striking a pose while feigning off the…discomfort…of having c.diff and doing my best not to infect the rest of the floor 🕺🏻
4. Pretty doped up on dilaudid trying to get through the hardest days. My mouth and throat were bleeding pretty constantly so I couldn’t eat or drink for a while 👅

When we decided to cancel our planned wedding and,

When we decided to cancel our planned wedding and, instead, marry between chemo and the bone marrow transplant, we talked about having a big party, celebrating, and renewing our vows again in 5 years. It’s 5 years today, and I wouldn’t think about trying to replace or redo anything that happened on May 14th, 2016.

I’m happy for this love; this chance to still be living with my best friend, for not having a PICC line anymore but to still be able to see the scars, I’m happy for my bald head, and the cult we must have looked like when almost everyone in my life shaved their heads too, I’m happy for these memories, these photos, this bravery. I’m happy for this love.
.
Happy Anniversary, Bob. He’s not on Instagram, so I’ll read this to him later and get one of those real-life likes. I think they’re called hugs.

Look! A real-life, non-virtual, physically printed

Look! A real-life, non-virtual, physically printed copy of my artwork for the @syracuseposterproject! In 2021, I didn't know it was possible!
.
And, even better, if you're in the Syracuse area you can go SEE the big version of my second-place-winning 😏 poster somewhere downtown (I'm going exploring this weekend to find it!). Or you can buy a copy on the @syracuseposterproject website or at @wildflowers_syr.
.
And, in case you're curious, the artwork for the poster was inspired by a haiku written by #MattThompkins (Matt, if you see this, let me know and I'll tag you) about abandoned factories in Syracuse finally waking up to see new growth and development. Hence, cicadas. The factory I drew is a funny one - the old Penfield Manufacturing building on the city's north side. It has what looks like a two-story, residential home sitting on top of it. I've always loved it's weirdness and mystery.
