Transformation: Chapter 6?

June 17, 3033

      Here we are, moving along.  It is as if we have been going along on auto pilot.  It is a bit disconcerting, things have just been so quiet.  Things have been just a bit too good.  What does all that mean?  No troubles, no side effects.  Does that mean that everything will work out grand?  Does that mean that we should be prepared for things to go haywire?  I know that things just seem to keep moving and they are just so quiet.  Like that calm before the storm.  I see others who have been going through some of this, others who we think are on the same study as she.  None seem to be taking this treatment as well, and the doctors are just loving how good she is doing.

Outside of being nervous that things are going too well, there have been a few odd little things I have notice.  The other day after she got out of the shower there were purple spots all over her legs.  I am not sure why, but they seemed to have gone away.  When we brought this up the doctor said that it could just be from the heat of the water, or maybe slight graft vs. host bothered by the heat.  But it is nothing they say.  We will continue to watch it and make sure nothing more comes of it.

Her hair is trying to come back in, but she seems to be flaking off skin all over.  It is like no matter what she does her skin is just scaly and flakes off.  I suppose after the heavy drugs they used in her body it is growing everything new.

Something odd we have noticed as we go up to the new area of the hospital.  There is no way to get onto floors four and five, and they have a big X when the elevator is going by them.  I wonder why it seems to skip them.  It is very unusual.

We have been officially told we have the weekend off.  It is a nice feeling.  To not have to go in for the first time in over a month!  I am sure we will find something to occupy our time.

Transformation: Chapter 1

March 3, 3033

We were selected!  All the time of hurry and wait and finally the process has begun.  We know the doctors have said the results could be interesting, and the side affects many.  We are pioneers embarking on this new trial.  They still have not told us much about it, only that it is a very new experiment.  Looking around at the others going through their various trials, we wonder how many of them will be changed.  There are whispers the whole program we are part of is some secret conspiracy of the government.  Some kind of DNA rewriting program.  They want to make us stronger.  Take animal DNA and get rid of our faults.  Thinking about it I figure there is nothing to lose anymore.  Maybe if it really is we could find a new way of life.  This just isn’t working anymore, after so many years of no results.  That’s probably why we were selected for this new treatment.  With very little family and ties we are open to disappear.  I have begun to believe those saying this is some form of conspiracy just for the simple fact that we have not been getting any answers.  Some of the people here speak another language, I am sure they too wonder.  I am curious as to how they have found and chose those of us selected for this journey…

The next round is soon to begin.  So far we have not seen much for

Transformation: Prologue

October 3032

There is this great trial out there for people like us.  The people who have tried everything, and nothing has worked.  They have not said much about this trial, but the criteria to get into it is pretty hard.  We will see if we can get in soon.

November 3032

We had our first apointment to see if we match all the criteria for this trial.  The doctor sounded real excited.  I’m not sure his excitement was such a good thing, but it sounds like real good for us.  We should know soon I hope.

November 3032

So far so good.  She passed all the preliminary work.  That means she has to pass anouther round.  It sounds like total there are three rounds she has to pass before she makes it in.  Her overall health outside of this is great which was real helpful.  Her DNA is a perfect match also, which is what got the doctor so excited.  I guess thats a big deal on if this whole thing will work.  I overheard them talking about it in the hall, saying something about it being a determining factor, especially with her overall health being so good.
