Hi. B"H I'm doing ok. I'm always expecting to feel a marked jump in my energy level after receiving a blood transfusion. But it always takes a few days until I feel it and then it's a gradual improvement. Still, as long as it gets there. I think that I'm feeling the reduction in the Prednisone, as well. My face is less puffy and I'm definitely less moody. (Actually, maybe I should ask David about the moodiness).
I just started cleaning upstairs for Passover -- in Mom's room. The UPSTAIRS part of that sentence is a really good thing. I'm finding walking the stairs to be easier and easier. I no longer have to lift myself up each step using the hand rail. At least my legs are getting stronger. Now, the cleaning part...that's a different story. As I said before, I'll do what I can and no more.
I've been knitting again. I just finished a scarf/shawl that I had begun while in the hospital this last time. It came out very nice. I'll take a picture and post it (since I'm definitely not posting any pix of me!).
My next appointment with the doctor is on Thursday afternoon. I'll call later today to find out if I'm scheduled for the pulmonary function test and/or Pentamidine. If I'm scheduled for the Pentamidine, I've got to be prepared to sleep for the rest of the day.
I hope you're all doing well. Enjoying the milder weather (locally) and in good health. Thanks for keeping up with me. It really helps.

Leah - glad to hear you are feeling a little better. As you know, don't overdo with the cleaning. I am praying for you often. I go back to the dr. this morning and it is the first time in 6 weeks, so I am a bit nervouse about liver enzymes, etc. I haven't gone this long without going since transplant, so we will see how it goes. Take care of yourself and continue to rest and heal. Love ya lots and lots.
