Monday

Hi,
I had a long day at the docs. They took a bunch of labs to determine when I can start my immunizations. I'll know something in about 3 weeks. They are happy with my progress- still watching my lungs and anemia, but generally optimistic. I'm still feeling good, exercising, teaching and kicking butt. I'm still napping in the afternoon. I get tired and need put myself down for a nap!
Take care,
Beryl

Hi,
In two days, it will be two months since I stopped my immunosuppressant drugs. Fingers crossed!

I'm not pregnant!

Hi,
I went to the Ob/Gyn yesterday and I'm NOT pregnant! My flora and fauna is not what it should be so we're doing a little tweeking. I'm on a few new meds which will hopefully do the trick. They are wanting to rule out the Graft vs Host option. (Just say no!)
That's all I got. My hair is about an inch long and very weird in texture. My friend Laura says it's like a baby chick but I think it's like a crazy wire haired terrier. Or maybe a sheep. It wants to go into a fauxhawk but I won't let it!!! It's got a mind of it's own.
The kittens continue to be charming and adorable. They are learning to climb trees. They really are genius kittens.
Take care,
Beryl

Day 220

Hello,
I went to the clinic today (I go every TWO weeks now) and things look fine. I had an immunization shot for flu and so far no reactions. In a month or two, depending on my blood work, I'll start getting my baby shots. Slow and steady.
I heard some bad news about one of my transplant friends who was hospitalized with Graft VS Host about 5 weeks ago. He passed away. I'm still stunned. He was doing fine but apparently had other complications. So I'm feeling very sad for his wife and a little scared. He was about my age.
It's two years ago this month that I was first diagnosed with MDS. It's been a weird couple of years. I'm looking forward to the time when this is all way in the past.
In the meantime the kittens are growing and James is going to try to catch them and take them to the CASPCA. They are so cute and they have all said they want to stay with me!!!!
Take care,
Beryl
