Yes, mornings on the porch, where I am right now with my herbs, flowers, tomatoes, bees, and birds! Out here even in winter in my puffy coat cuz love the smell of snow! Free cheer-up gifts from Mother Nature.

My last labs came in with 320 platelets. I'm also 70, but no family history of blood cancers. I have a very knowledgeable doctor who counsels and referred me to an oncologist who treated his father. I have RA, osteoporosis and systemic scleroderma that first flared up in 2014. Recently my doc suspected an internal bleed and sent me to a Mayo trained gastrointestinal doc. She did find a hiatal hernia a month ago. 8 cm and angry. So, more meds in the arsenal to hopefully curtail surgery to repair
it. Before then, I had no medical issues. I've been on prednisone daily to keep mobile and relatively pain-free. Getting old sucks, but at this juncture it sure beats the alternative !
