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.
