Hello Again

It is Wednesday, and I am just back from the city, there since Monday afternoon. Dennis went to my appts. with me yesterday, which was a treat. Alas, I did not have my line pulled - it is scheduled for next Tuesday. My doctor wanted to wait for the the results of my bone marrow biopsy, although the preliminary review was all clear. My magnesium levels have held, and the weaning off the tacrolimus has begun. I continue to have weird skin stuff (prickly, highly reactive, still sun sensitive), which I am not too thrilled about the possibility of having worsen, but the drug cocktail alternative is pretty bad too. Forward I go!

Russell, Lucy and Suzie, chauffered back from the airport by Owen, had dinner with Dennis and me Monday evening, which was lovely. Owen had his wisdom teeth out this morning, impacted and one infected, and he is having a good bit of pain already. Lucy had her first filling today, which she almost made into as big a deal. So I played Mommy nurse this afternoon. So nice to get to do that again.

My response to the frequent question "how are you" is usually "decent" these days. I can't yet say I feel good, but I have some energy, and feel more or less like myself again.

So that's the update! Hard to believe the summer is almost gone. I think for me fall will be like spring.

Love to you all,
Anne
