Just a note to say I am now 64 days post transplant
and feeling fine. They have me down to two days a week in the clinic, the other
days on my own doing home transfusions which are a piece of cake. I am
enjoying the freedom and doing a lot of exploring out in the countryside outside
of Houston. I figure I'm safest away from the crowds and out in the
country, so I spend a lot of time getting lost and then trying to find my way
back home. which is something I've been doing ever since I moved to Texas.
Had the privilege of meeting Hertz-Nurtle (Avis)
today at the Rotary House for lunch. Such a vibrant, interesting woman
with great true to life stories always on the tip of her tongue. She kept
us spellbound at the table for well over an hour. Thank you
Avis!
My counts remain unchanged. Constantly
low on magnesium, still trying to find a happy balance between doses of
magnesium and immodium...not sure there is one. The only thing I am
getting via IV is saline and magnesium supplements. I time my days and
travels by distances between bathrooms, and the scariest thing I have to
do is occasionally use a public bathroom. I must look pretty funny donning gloves and mask before entering a public
bathroom as if I were a doctor entering an OR. I do get some strange looks
from people.
Slightly low on the hemogloben around 10 or 11 o
the average, but that is where I was for most of my years on
Gleevec.
My second post BMT biopsy is scheduled for the
18th with the results coming around 10 days later. Until then
it's watching out for kooties while I hurry up and wait. I do think I
am getting another weekend furlough to go see my kids this weekend, so we are
excited about that.
Hope this note finds everyone doing
well.
Regards and Prayers, DT
