No new stem cells, just a new bathtub

Instead of getting admitted to the hospital for a transplant, we went shopping for new bathtub!  The thrills never stop! Prior to Kevin's diagnosis, he demolished half of our bathroom and began renovating it.  Since then, he's been a little preoccupied and unable to complete the bathroom.  No worries though, it was ugly, but functional. Until the transplant talk started.  

Kevin's doctor advised us it wasn't smart to have our only full bath half-deconstructed when Kevin got home from his transplant.  Mold, mildew, and an open construction site would not be a good environment for a severely immuno-compromised person. And besides, it would be a long time before Kevin could get back to the business of finishing the renovation.

So, we've hired a contractor to finish the job and he starts tomorrow.  The delay of Kevin's transplant buys us a little more time (not too much, we hope) to complete the job before he gets home.  Here he is with our new tub...

Another silver lining: he has permission to have a beer while watching the Superbowl today.  Yipee!
