I had an excuse!

There was a mass outage of the internet last night so I didn't get to make any post for the day. Not that I had much to post - but I was prepared to do something.

I suppose that it's time to update everyone on my medication status. How boring that must be for you all! However, I think that one of them may be very beneficial as my friend who was diagnosed in April last year now has the shingles which has left marks on her face that look like bruises.

So here goes...

Pro-graf - an immunosuppressant
acyclovir - to prevent chicken pox and shingles
prednisone - to keep some of the transplant side effects in check
bactrim - to prevent pneumonia

As for the eyes...
serum tears - to replace the tears that my eyes currently no longer produce
kineret - to decrease inflammation
vigamox - to fight infection

Pretty exciting suff!! The first group will definitely stay in effect until February as that is my next Dana-Farber appointment. As for the others, next Wednesday will tell the tale here. I don't expect many changes because I haven't seen many changes in my eyes.

As for daily living, we're back into bridge again - played with friends Saturday night, in our couples league tonight*we won), and in the men's league and couples league on Wednesday. A busy schedule but it's fun and it keeps the mind churning.

Enough of boring all of you, until the next time...
