I slept so much

| No Comments

I slept so much. My body was so desperate for sleep that I would nod off at every opportunity. During the winter in Lancaster, the days would often be covered with a thin veil of darkness. The morning would progress from black to a mute, overcast grey, then slowly back again to darkness. Within the confines of my hospital room, I lost my sense of day and night, lost it in all of those shades of grey. My first few days were a confusing mess of dreams and nightmares and waking memories.

A Few Notes

rkb in 1990
2010 marks my twentieth year in remission from AML. To celebrate, I will be training for and running two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland on October 25th.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (or through the site archives).

But now I will also be writing about my training and fundraising goals, progress, as well as other thoughts, feelings, and experiences along the way for this milestone anniversary.
