Good for you, it is behind you now! I was super anxious for that procedure as well. I just wanted to give you the heads up that the results will take up to four weeks. That was a very hard wait for me. Some results will appear in your portal in a short time and if you're handy with google you can sorta figure out what's going on. That was my experience, I started out with PV in 2016 however I now have myelofibrosis and getting prepped for a bone marrow transplant in September. I too live alone and care for my 2 horses and 3 dogs and the 12 acres we call home. Fortunately my sons are about 30 minutes away. We all have our struggles it is in the way we chose to handle them that really matters. I am the type that wants to know EVERYTHING there is to know. Have clarity can be very helpful. I wish you the very best.
