Hi Lori! It’s so nice to hear from you. All is going very well in regards to my stem cell transplant. I’m finally tapering off of tacro.
Just when Covid is waning, my numbers are great, I’m ready to travel, I broke my ankle. I had surgery a week ago and must stay non weight bearing for 6 weeks. The first 3 weeks elevation.
I hope you’re doing well and able to get away some.
It was nice of you to get in touch.
Gretchen

Hey Gretchen! It’s great to hear from you too! I’m happy the news is all good on the SCT side of things!! Takes a while but it’s so worth the effort isn’t it?
Bummer about the ankle! How did that happen! I’m so sorry it’s the obstacle holding you back now. Darn it! I hope it all heals quickly for you and you’re back on your feet soon. You have a lot of lost time to make up for now! ☺️
I’m doing great, thanks. I honestly feel like nothing ever happened. I’m still cautious of course, because of Covid but I’m coming up on 3 years and my doctor is highly encouraged that there is no relapse of the AML. . He said it seldom returns after 22 months and I’m 33 months. Yippee skippee!! We’re actually down in Florida enjoying the warmth and sunshine, resuming life to the fullest. Every day is a gift, right?
If you get a chance, check out a new post I started for us transplant patients.

I thought it would be a cool idea to inspire others who might be facing a transplant down the road, to show them what life is like on the other side! Have you any photos that wouldn’t exist if not for your transplant?
