September Visit

Hi all!

My office visit went well yesterday. My Physician's Assistant (PA) was happy with how I looked and with my numbers. 

Weight 129, temp 98, pulse 80, resp 16, blood pressure 112/74

WBC 4.5, HCT 30.0, Plat 150, ANC 3.12, CRE 1.2

All the other numbers were normal or close to it.

Last time my CD4 count was slightly low. It is the count that tells whether my body can protect against pneumonia (PCP). The results came in today and they were good, so I don't have to do another pentamidine treatment. 

I was hoping to get my BIG TESTS scheduled for October, but as of yet, I don't know. In October it will be blood draw, CT scan, bone marrow biopsy, etc.

October 17 will be a year post transplant. Wow. Time really flies!

So, in other news, I took my first big plane ride since June 2014.  I was so excited.  I visited my family and even a few friends. I also got to go for a couple of boat rides on a lake. How fun!

Not pictured, but who I got to visit with: Dad, Dave, Ed, Marie, Jeremy, Elizabeth, Samantha, and Lil Dexter.

I wishihad more time. There were so many more people I wanted to see, but Kent went out of town Saturday night, and wasn't expected back.  Thank you, Dave, for dog sitting our 2 plus a foster.  See you tomorrow!
