I had an appointment yesterday that, thank God went very well. Dr. Schuster said that I've "turned a corner." My numbers are doing well -- WBC 5.5, HGB 10.2, PLT 110 -- so no transfusions necessary. I had a pulmonary function test yesterday as well as the Benadryl/Pentamidine. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the day sleeping. I think I was supposed to go for a chest x-ray too, but I forgot about it! I need to go back sometime this week for an echo cardiogram anyway, so I guess I can get the chest x-ray then.
I'm scheduled for a bone marrow biopsy on June 9. This will be the first time I'm having it done under anesthesia so, even though I'm still dreading it, I'm dreading it less than usual.
My eyes are still bothering me. The doctor said that he sees some improvement but I don't really think so. I've already tried two different strengths of eyedrops to no avail. I'm hoping that they'll improve with time.
Other than that, I rode my bicycle for the first time of Sunday -- just around the neighborhood, but it was great! It felt really, really good. I'm might try to do it again today if I can get myself together.
I'm so grateful to all of you who keep on checking in to catch up. I am blessed with the greatest family, the best friends and the most loyal "lurkers". And I can't, for one minute, forget my Dad and Grammy who are always, ALWAYS looking out for me. Thank you all. Believe in Miracles!!

Leah - Glad everything is going well for you. I continue to pray for you each and every day. Please keep in touch and keep us updated on your progress. My appointment on Thursday went well. Still waiting to see if my insurance will approve the Photopheresis, but they should. Other than that, I am just waiting and eating ice cream and drinking milk. Yummy! Keep smiling and keep the positive attitude. You are a true blessing to me.
