Day +19

Things are going very well! My counts continue to go up and I am officially off all IV medications. A bummer is that my cultures came back with a fungal infection. The docs aren't worried about it, but the anti-fungal medication that is used to treat the particular fungal infection also interacts with the anti-rejection drugs I receive. (Mouth full) Basically, the medications need to be at very specific levels, so it may take a day or two to get the blood results back. The anti-rejection drug is also to prevent GVHD ... Graft-versus-host disease is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted material attacks the transplant recipient's body. At any rate, not a huge issue and hopefully one the docs already have under control.

Still some adjusting to the Packers losing. I'm not a Lions, Vikings, or Bears fan....I don't know what it feels like to lose very well. Ah well, what can you do, hopefully they can re-group, get healthy, and play better. Crosby is also back on the IR...uh. The Penguins need some good news on him, and soon. Hopefully, Braun gets some justice for the leaking of the information, he checks his prescriptions much better in the future, and that the Brew can do ok without him for possibly 50 games. HHS still looking good, hope they can take care of Fondy Springs and OshKosh before the conference games begin. Go get em' boys.

Hope everyone is doing well, week before the holidays. Get all the shopping done, travel well and safe.
