I was up at 6:30 on Friday (6/17) and left at 7 AM to pick up Pat.  I had scheduled a stem cell procedure on my knees and Pat volunteered to take me.  It was great because we haven’t seen each other in forever, and it gave us a chance to talk.  We were at the center for about 2 hours, and I was pretty much useless for the rest of the day.  I was in severe pain and headed to bed at 8 PM.
