Today was my six month control and everything is good. No more GVHD, blood levels are good. My blood pressure was high because of the immune suppressants so they put me on blood pressure medicine. Now I feel like an old man, but hopefully it will help.
My doctor told me that she could she I had “steroid face”. That’s not a compliment. But she reduced the steroids so hopefully I my face will go back to normal in the next few weeks.
She also told me I need to start with bloodletting. Yepp, apparently we still do that in 2023. I’m pretty sure that bloodletting is what ultimately killed George Washington. When you’ve had as many blood transfusions as I have your body builds up an unhealthy iron reserve that needs to be let out.
I will start back to work twenty percent in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to that.
I probably won’t update the blog for a while unless something dramatic happens, so no news is good news.
Nothing to report beyond that. Things are good and getting back to normal. Thanks for praying!
