It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving; I did, too, with family and my dog. Wow, thanks. That's a great list; I'll check some of those groups out, especially the pet group.

I have a standing order at the lab to get blood work whenever I walk in; my doctor wants me to do it about once a month. I often put it off another couple weeks because I don't always want to know (silly - I know). I don't ever know what to expect, but I more or less feel the same as I have for the past 8 months or so. Still tired, and I still have bone pain at night. My platelets have been inching down, but not to the point where they want to do any treatment since I'm doing ok right now.
