8/22/2011 Long, Long, Long Time NO Blog

You may or may not have noticed, I came home from Salt Lake and dropped out of the blogger's universe. I thought about it several times, even sat down a couple of times to write a quick word or few, but never signed in and actually wrote and posted anything.

Aside from my being extremely lazy was the fact that I really don't have anything much to write about. Since we've been home, everything is going very well, I have seen Dr. Te a couple of times and had standard blood tests taken each week. Everything they are testing for is coming out entirely normal. I am back to work full time (nearly) and am nearly weaned off any nausea medicine - not totally, but not too much. The testing that will probably be extended to bi-weekly will go until the end of September when I get the full range of tests done to see how well the second transplant went. At that time the doctors, both Dr. Te and Dr. Peterson from LDS Hospital will make the determination on what kind of maintenance drugs and how long I will need to take them. We should know this by the second week of October or pretty close to there.

My hair is just starting to grow back, I'm still pretty much bald and don't have to worry too much about shaving more than every 3-4 days. I think the results are probably a little cumulative to make the hair growth a little slower this time.

I doubt I'll be very timely in my posts, but I'll try to do a little better, maybe after we go to Utah for the holiday weekend. Hope everyone had a good summer, and everyone is doing well. OK, until next time.
