Saturday Night

Hi. I was just informed that there is an EMERGENCY BLOOD SHORTAGE and there is a BLOOD DRIVE tomorrow, that's Sunday February 1, 7:30AM-1:00PM at the YOUNG ISRAEL OF WOODMERE on Peninsula Boulevard in Woodmere. If you can give, please do. It is truly the gift of life. (And being transfusion dependent at this time, just hearing the words "blood shortage" makes me feel a little insecure). Thank you.

I am feeling a little better. I don't know if it's attributable to the reduction in Prednisone, the elimination of the Valcyte, the transfusion on Thursday, or a combination thereof ... I'd wager it's the combo. The weekend was very relaxing. David brought the stationary bike up from the basement and I've been pedaling little bits at a time and I think I feel my muscles strengthening a bit. We'll see how that goes.

Thank you for all your prayers and good wishes and for checking in on me. FYI to those who asked, my email address is:

  1. Hi Leah, I'm so glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better. I was really concerned about you that I was dreaming of you all night. What a great idea David had. Maybe I'll come over to exercise with you. I'll walk in place, since the stationary bike is about my speed. Love Always, Beth xxx000xxx

  2. Leah - so glad to hear you are feeling a little better. I pray that things will continue to look up for you each day. Keep me posted on how things are going for you. I have to go to the dr. tomorrow and Tuesday this week. Tomorrow, I go get 5 more of my baby shots, and on Tuesday, I have my 2 week appointment. I hate going every 2 weeks, but that is what it will be until I can get off the Prednisone all together. My last CMV came back negative, so I guess that is a plus. Keep in touch and hugs and love.
