Good News

This Wednesday's University of Chicago visit came with good news: a discussion on when I could possibly return to work. My doctor told me that typically with transplant patients, they'd rather wait at least 3 months before evaluating whether or not a person could return to work, because of Graft vs Host disease, drug reactions, or other immune system issues. In two weeks, I have another bone marrow biopsy scheduled. If that biopsy comes back good, and I'm not showing any other complications, I will be released to go back to work part-time. I'm excited!

I'm still battling a bad rash on my arms and legs. They took another skin biopsy today in hopes of determining the origin. All they can tell me so far is that it's an allergic reaction to 'something.' But the consisten
cy of my rash has changed in the last week. It actually looks more like Ringworm. But they did test for that already, and that showed up negative.

Every time we've left the parking garage in Chicago, I've seen this Aston Martin parked in the same spot. I've been meaning to take a picture of the car for a while, and I finally did today. Just thought I'd
share. She's beautiful.

  1. Your not the only one excited about the possibility of you coming back!! It has been a long time, but look at all that you have accomplished. You will just have to see what the doctor says. Just think, you could be back in time for football season!! I think you are allergic to cancer, medications, doctors, hospitals.....etc! You have the cancer issue beat, now on to the rest!! Don't show Ingrid the picture of the car you are lusting after!!
