Hey, yes, its been a long while since I've posted. It means a lot to get your notes asking for another blog. The Lord knows I like to talk...and when you encourage that skill...well...you know...
Today gives me reason to chat. My body has made it 9.5 months since the last Rituxan infusion in October of 2012, and truthfully I'm still going strong. That said, the antibody levels began to climb and I could feel the symptoms creeping in. So we scheduled our next infusion, and today was the day. Awesome! I keep saying that we just infused another 9-10 months of medical remission.
So, what does medical remission look like? For me, this past 9 months have been fun. We wogged (Walk+Jog) the annual Turkey Trot in Austin, we took part in the MDA's Muscle Walk and the first annual MGFA MG Walk in Grapevine, TX, I was able to play 2 seasons of softball and even pitched again; we've visited friends and family all over Texas; we've welcomed friends and family to Austin, from all over; we've zip-lined around Lake Travis (I use the word 'Lake' loosely); we've toured funky chicken coops around Austin; we visited Shelter Cove, CA and Nashville, TN. Who has time to sit still? We've taken part in these adventures and many more, and my body wasn't whipped into crisis or symptom mode.
I thought this morning, 'What a blessing Rituxan is!', and while talking to myself, celebrated the many talented minds who work to design and deliver such a powerful tool. Then my mind was shifted. How about 'What a blessing my diseases are!'. Yeah...Soak that one up.
Ok, enough from me today...I'm scattered like hashbrowns at Waffle House.
