It's Kinda Like Normal


Today, July 11, or 7/11,   I had my final infusion of Pentamidine. I have been getting this antimicrobial medication every 3 weeks since my transplant as a preventative for Pneumocytosis pneumonia and each infusion along with premeds and waiting usually took about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Having been immune suppressed I was a risk for contracting that nasty pneumonia often fatal for people whose immune system is down. Guess what? Not so any longer. It is getting stronger. I have been stepping down on the Tacrolimus, from originally 8 mg daily to 1/2 mg every other day and there has been no Graft vs. Host disease so I'm thinking they will eliminate it all together. Once that goes it means others will follow suit. It's kinda like normal, but not quite. There will be much, about which to poke and prod  for several years yet or at least for my earthly forever. Yes I'll enjoy my 7/11.
