12-12-12; a landmark day

12-12-12 marks another step in the right direction – I am officially off all immunosuppressants. If things go well over the next 2 months, Dr Vose will start weaning me off most of the other medicines that I've been taking. Many many times over the past 3 years I've wondered if how I feel was due to everything that's happened and just something I'm going to need to deal with or a side effect of all the medicine. Guess I'll know pretty soon! Everything has been going really well – there's the occasional day when it's hard to drag myself out of bed, but that's now the exception rather than the rule. I can't really tell what condition my lungs are in but would guess that they haven't changed much. I'm able to take walks and play some sports so for that I'm very grateful! Thanksgiving was very nice. Since then work has been very busy, and Christmas is just around the corner. If all continues to go well, I might get Christmas cards sent out on time this year! In case I don't get another blog posted before then, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and that you are able to slow down long enough to enjoy the season. Blessings and miracles are all around us if we just take the time to block out the noise and look. Your prayers and support through this journey continue to be a huge blessing in my life! May “God bless us every one!”
