Day +55

Another good report from the doctor yesterday. My white blood counts and neutrofils continue to do well so I got the ok to go out in public. Also I no longer need to take a magnesium supplement so two less pills to swallow each day. The skin around my central line is getting raw from changing the bandage weekly so I may lose it soon. It's nice not to get poked every week to give blood samples but I won't miss having a tube sticking out of my chest. Provided my level of Graft vs Host disease doesn't get any worse they should be able to start reducing the amount of cyclosporin I take each day. That will be great as the cyclosporin affects my appetite and the taste of food, so the less I have to take the better it is for eating. I managed to gain a kilo last week; must have been the chocolate dipped caramel corn I consumed during the Super Bowl! Overall I'm feeling pretty good. Now if the temperature would just warm up and the ice would melt!
