Nothing Much

Nothing much to say - an uneventful day. Yay ! No nausea today that I needed drugs for. Just some minor ickyness after eating that I managed to dispatch "Chuck Norris" style. Started and finished reading the parody book 'The Truth About Chuck Norris' (Thanks Melissa & Loren) today. That's the kind of day it's been. Too out of energy to do anything constructive, but feeling too good to sleep the day away. I think I will try and stay on the straight and narrow, since I don't think I would enjoy jail. I guess I am a little concerned that the Chemo didn't do a good enough job. I think I should feel a LOT worse. I am certainly not going to loose the 50 lbs I was hoping for by July. Another failed diet plan. Dinner was Teriyaki Chicken and Rice. It was something I was actually looking forward to, and was able to eat it all. Tasted like shit, but at least it all got down and stayed there. Today - Yes, Today, not last week, a lady introduced hers...

Someone's like me.

I was back in at the LBMT Thursday afternoon for blood work, hickman line flushing, and news.

So, if you are one of the recent people who signed up for the registry, and have been magically called as a match, you might very well be my blood brother/sister so to speak - lol. The coming transplant scares the willies out of me as it will be the most intensive event I have been through in this whole thing, since the start over a year and a half ago.  Any grief, discomfort, etc.  I have been ...

2012

2012 I made it to another year ! Yay me! Another stellar delay before posting an update, but it has been a very busy time - work, Halloween, work, trip to the Island, work, Christmas, work, New Years, work. In my last update, I was off Prednisone, and now, I am off Cyclosporin. I am still on the Anti-Pneumonia, Anti-Viral, and blood pressure pills until the end of the month, and then I can stop all but the blood pressure pills. So far everything has been clear for GVHD, but my energy levels have been taking a pretty big hit. Next doctor visit is in March.
