Magical 256!!!!!

Hello,
So.....my tests came back and indicate that my immune system is up and running!!!!!!!!! I still have some immunizations in place (rubella, mumps, measles, & tetanus) from before the transplant. The doc says they may need to be repeated in the next four years...or not. Not a problem either way. I received my polio vaccine today and some wheel thing on my arm to test for something to do with my immune system. The doc says I can eat in restaurants and don't need to wear a mask!!!!!! Needless to say, I'm dipping my toes in the water and slowly acclimating to this brave new world, not jumping in. He says I'm way ahead of the curve on my recovery and expects things to continue to go well. The big markers are 1st year, third year and fifth year. After that, they consider me to be in full remission. I'm stunned. I'm amazed. I'm so so so happy! In two week I get another Bone Marrow biopsy to make sure everything is kosher and working properly. What a day!!!
Bam!
