Quiet. On Monday the 25th i turned 65 yrs old. Crazy. At my 6-week follow-up my dang creatinine was off. I knew it as i did not drink enough water at work. Everything else was good. I hit 500 days past transplant then. I also got 2 vaccines. One was the 1st of 2 shingles. Yea i said to the NP. I had wanted it. My nurse who gave me the vaccines told me her dad had shingles on his back. The Mom had to help him with ointment, but their fighting took over. The nurse said neither will get the vaccine. Her parents live in Japan.
I had applied for Medicare, although i put in i still have medical until i retire. My NP had asked me if i applied and she suggested i go speak to the financial lady to make sure i am squared away before i turn 25. Well miss Maddie was able to look in Social Security to see i had the medical assigned and would be paying starting Sept 1st!!
I went in Monday the 25th, filled out the form needed to cancel the Part B, made the appointment they requested and headed out on my Monday funday. I have some weekends planned in September, and every day i thank God I got a transplant that has worked. I look forward to seeing when my blood changes to O from A. That had not happened. The 100% chimerism did, so the COH was happy. This reminded me of the lady i met at the celebration for donors earlier this year. She works in the lab that comes up with those chimerism numbers. She was happy to hear of mine as she said they are thrilled when the magic 100% arrives.
It is a team effort when treating us.
