Sitting in the dialysis chair with antlers resting on my ball cap seems like the perfect time to do a little writing. The blood is moving effortlessly out of my arm, into the machine that filters it and returns it back to me. My fistula is working like a champ.
The catheter that had to go in after my fistula was worked on is gone. In other words, things are starting to get back to normal. Well, the new normal anyway.
This week the new normal included a maintenance treatment of Rituxan, so my CLL got a little attention. I also got to spend some quality time with my dentist. Add in my dialysis visits, and health care was almost a full time job this week.
All this health care is doing great things for me. Seriously, I don't think I've felt this good in a long time. All my blood work this month has been great. It's a great time to get started back to getting my body in shape. There's a transplant in my future, and I want to make sure I'm in shape to accept my new organ.
No, there's no donor in sight yet, but I feel like it's just a matter of time. So for now, it's time to enjoy the Christmas season, the beautiful weather that makes it possible for us to drive back and spend the holiday with Jeannie's family, and just let things unfold the way they are supposed to unfold. I'm open to all the possibilities.
All that's left to say is Merry Christmas to all!
