Clinic Day

Kent took me to clinic today.

 We spent all of 10 minutes with the PA, who was running WAY behind. The numbers still look good and she says the doctors are pleased with my progress. We still are vigilant for signs of GVHD, but so far nothing. The results of the chimerism test came in.  We are trending up. (100/79) That's good 

 A little piece of "disappointing" news is no swimming at all until a year post transplant. (October 17, 2015). Swimming will only be allowed after then if I do not have any setbacks, like GVHD. No ocean, no lake, no pool.

The magnesium levels are increasing, so the supplement I have been taking has been reduced.  Now I am down to 4 pills and Prograf in the morning, and 3 pills and prograf in the evening.  (Previously it had been as many as 8 and as many as 4 times a day.

I continue to try new recipes in the kitchen. (What else a, I to do?) Tonight was chicken, salad, and a pasta. Kind of. Grilled chicken breast, homemade (no mayo) coleslaw, and spaghetti ala carbonara.  I think we would have gorged on pasta alone, had I not insisted on the protein and greens. Still very yummy.

Happy thought:
