sorry for not writing sooner, but I've been busy, busy, busy. I'm back at Mountlake Terrace High School, in 9th Grade. I did like the Hutch School, but I'm really glad to be back at my normal school with my friends.
It feels more normal. My brother is giving me a ride back & forth. I'm still in Physical Therapy, and doing ok. My body seems to be back to normal, except my energy level. I still don't have high energy like I used to.
I did have to have a port put in my chest yesterday so that the doctors can get blood out of me. My body doesn't seem to want to give any blood any more. So, since I need to drain off a pint of blood each month, this is how they are going to do it. But, man, was it painful to put in. This is the 3rd device they have put in my chest, and each time hurts worse than the last. I'm doing better today. I'm tired of feeling like a pin cushion though.
My transplant anniversary came & went - Februay 7th. It's been one year.
I'm hoping to stay healthy for a while. I have a bunch of 1 year appt's to go to at the end of this month. Not looking forward to those, but, then I should have several months off.
Hope you all are well, happy & healthy!

Grant, I am so psyched for you. I was on the TNT winter team but I had to quit because I couldn't raise enough $$. Still, I did manage to raise about $1,500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, so it was definitely *not* a loss!
I check your blog every once in a while to see how you're doing and I am happy to hear that your transplant anniversary came & went and that you're back at the public high school.
Keep writing, and peace and health and fun to you!
