It's not about the bird.

That's what I learned last year when I ate my Thanksgiving dinner at Hotel Hope.

Frozen veggies, instant potatoes, pasty gravy and (OOOH) my shedding hair.

One year ago today: No appetite, inedible food, dangerously low white blood counts, red blood and platelet transfusions - a very memorable (and thanks-filled) Thanksgiving.

Today: Huge appetite, fabulous food, almost normal blood counts - much to be thankful for.
