The Bone Marrow Transplant: 25 Days in the Hospital
On March 1, 2019, I was admitted into the hospital for the bone marrow transplant. The first six days were full of chemo and radiation, while the next 18 days post transplant were left to healing.
Here's a video highlight of those 25 days.

    I grew up in Charleston and went back to visit in that same year - 2019. I too went here but at night; during the Ghost tour and went inside the jail. I ended up getting paranormal visuals on my cell phone photos, while touring the jail and its grounds. I must say the energy is very thick/heavy here. There are lots of skeletal remains buried in the big backyard of the jail (so the tour guid said). Also, in the daytime, ghosts had appeared in my photos near the Slave museum. While I was watching your video, there is a visible white fog/mist that blows behind you from your left shoulder to your right shoulder then off camera, and at that time you glanced behind you in that direction. Has anyone told you yet? It's at about 4:15 mins. into your video.

    When I was a young man I was in the Marines. Including Boot Camp I was stationed at Paris Island over 6 months. I loved going to Hunting Island. I would swim straight out to sea for 45 minutes or so. Then tread water for 20 minutes or so. I would swim back slower because the tide would have moved me a great distance. With my lungs opened up so well, when I got back to base I'd run 6 or 8 miles. I'm 66 years old now. I had my time in the sun. I have been blessed.
