Surprise coming up

Yes, I said a surprise is coming up, but you'll have to wait and see what it is!!!  Check back often!

I went to my BM (bone marrow, not bowel movement) doctor earlier in the week.  We were really lucky this time, because we actually were home from Boston by 1pm.  We left the house at 5:45am and got there early.  No traffic!!  I'm the only patient my doctor sees on Mondays so he was there and took me early.  My kidneys are in the normal range, which was shocking because my anti-rejection meds had to be increased and they affect the kidneys. Dr. thinks this is due to drinking and eating more. I ate almost a whole hamburger last night! That was the first good news.  Then, he said that my liver is a little better and my platelets (blood clotting) are almost in the normal range!  I'm getting better slowly, but surely!  I'm looking forward to the day that I can look at my labs and see everything in the normal range. 

That was the important news so now I can tell you my rib story.  This happened in December while I was in the midst of baking massive amounts of cookies.  Every night I get up at least once to pee.  This one night I was trying to get out of bed and for some bizarre reason, I was doing some weird acrobatic moves.  As I was attempting to squirm out of bed on my stomach, I got to the edge of the bed, on my stomach,  and I felt a pop!!  Please don't ask how or why this all happened, I really have no friggin' idea.  I didn't move for a minute.  I wasn't sure if I broke something and I wanted to be sure that I didn't puncture a lung.  I finally stood up and ran my hand all along my rib and there wasn't any pain so I was pretty sure nothing was broken.  I peed and went back to bed.  The next morning my rib was sore, but I'm sick of doctors, so I never got it checked.  I did have to take some time off from baking because I wasn't moving around very well.  Needless to say, no broken bones!  I either dislocated my rib on my side or popped ligaments or cartilage or whatever.  It feels better, as long as I don't try to sleep on that side for too long.  The moral of this story is...be careful getting out of bed to pee!!

One more thing.  What should be the title of book # 2?  (that's not the surprise)
FYI my blood type is now O positive.

Peace out Peeps!
