Met with the Shrink today. He wanted to make sure that emotionally I was ready for the treatment. I told him that I passed all my psychiatric issues on to my children (see above picture) and that I was free and clear of psychiatric issues unless I called upon them on demand.
He asked the basics: are you obsessive compulsive, are you co-dependent, do you have multiple personalities, are you paranoid-delusional, are you schizophrenic, are you manic depressive, etc... I did share that given the leadership qualities it took to manage my life at work and home, I shifted from anyone of the above categories to another given whatever was needed for the specific situation. I asked him based on the treatment I was having which of the above was most likely to surface. He didn't have a good answer for me so I just asked him to prescribe the normal 1-2 punch of Prozac and Zoloft.
Today was the last day of stem cell collection. Got 10.1 million total. 7.1 million yesterday and 3 million today. Only needed 2.5 million. I am now 25% complete with my treatment. Will get a great hair cut by the end of the week and pick up 10 more prescriptions to take with the Chemo starting on Monday... Talk to you tomorrow -Jack

Ok Jack...Your Shrink sounds like a very educated man. You know all us Zaneys are normally nuts. I'm wondering if you shouldn't have something stronger than the 1-2 punch. Thorazine injections perhaps. When I worked at the mental health clinic I read a lot of medical records. It seemed to help some of the more colorful characters. <;^)
You're doing great, brother!! Keep your chin high and keep the faith. God has our family under his wing.
Love,
Mary
PS..
Love the picture of Robbie. Wonder where he gets his sense of humor?

Hey, Good Buddy! It's a blessing being able to keep up with your daily posts. I think that Mary learned about all the drugs from the Big Donnie F. What do you think? All the guys from the alley keep asking about you and wish you the best. Jackie insists that we say "Go Patriots", but I can't get used to it. Go Colts!! I've been practicing with the guys for the City Tournament this weekend. Things are looking good. We've got a spot for you at the State Tournament in May! Keep up the good work with that Type A personality. Always exceeding expectations! Go Jack!! Go Cheryl!! Love ya!
Oh yeah, one more thing. Dean is "Dean the Freak". He confirmed it last week.
Hi Jack
So glad you got a hold of us. I guess I was meant to call you back the other night instead of my brother.

With a name like "Zaney" some docs just assume some things.
