| July 1, 2007 Things are going great for me. There are still little blips now and then, but I feel fantastic and have lots of energy. I had a bad reaction from some codeine for a cough related to a sinus infection (I seem to be allergic to it) and that put a strain on me and kicked my GVHD into action. I will be on prednisone until October to get it back in check. Other than a round face I don't have any side effects and am continuing on with my active life. I am enjoying playing with all my grandchildren and getting back to my machine embroidery and many other crafts. I have to stay away from digging in my garden until I am off the prednisone, but I am enjoying watering and dead heading all my flowers. My recovery is truly a miracle to me and my family. I am now over four and a half years from diagnosis and transplant and I am back on track with my life. Best wishes to all, Aldeane |
