Wednesday

Yesterday's bone marrow biopsy went well, Thank God. I was sedated for the procedure so I didn't feel a thing. I was very sore yesterday afternoon and evening but I'm feeling much better today. I didn't get the results yet but I'm assuming (hoping) that they'll have them by Monday's appointment.

Rachel and I are going to go away this afternoon for two nights at a spa in Connecticut. I'm really looking forward to spending this time with her, not to mention the spa treatments! I cherish experiences like these. I'll have to find something special to do with Jacob next time. Any suggestions?

My eyes are still bothering me but Dr. Schuster seems pretty sure that they're improving. Also, my feet and ankles are swelling very easily these days. Bita (PA) told me that it's most likely a side effect from the Norvasc that I'm taking for hypertension. The hypertension is a side effect of the Tacrolimus (Prograf) which we just started reducing. Hopefully, the reduction of the Prograf will get rid of the hypertension, thereby eliminating the need for the Norvasc, thereby eliminating the foot/ankle swelling. You following??

Other than that, my hair is growing a little. I'm still kinda fuzzy on top but it's definitely coming in. I'm feeling stronger and stronger every day. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by such loving and caring friends and family. Thank you all for being there and for your continued prayers.
