179 and I've graduated to Monthly testing!

SO this week's test showed platelets at a not-so-high, but definitely not-so-bad 179. My white & red blood cell counts are also normal (often I get a high white & low red) and my hemoglobin is also level. So Dr. Pastore thinks this is all good news at almost 2months off medication, and has given me a whole month till my next test :)

I am very very slowly starting to feel normal again... my energy is still not what it was, but improving ever so slightly as the weeks pass. I think my hair has stopped falling out so much, and I can see a bunch of little baby fuzz hairs coming in again from my partline :) I've fallen into a pattern with daily coffee to get my energy up, and although the caffeine can't be great for me it must be better than any of the meds they offered to do the same trick. So all in all things are looking good and I'm crawling back to normal!

The last trip to MI was cancelled after 5hrs of plane delays at the airport; so we are making one more attempt this weekend - think happy traveling thoughts!

I'll let you know how things look in late August!
