So my blood work after isolation has been coming back in nicely. The good news is its bringing energy and I feel much less bedridden.
Today I will go out in the lobby, and reconnect with some of my siblings who have been stuck in isolation as well. I look forward to many hugs
Today I will receive an infusion of Rituximab. It’s job is to destroy the b-cells in the immune system. These cells are what contain memory of what the immune system has been supposed to be doing. I liken it to The Men In Blacks neuralyzer. It’s like telling the body “a lot of shit has been going on here: chemo, stem cells. Pay no attention to it, it’s all the light shining off Venus.”
That’s today. Tomorrow I have a long meeting with Dr Federenko. And then Monday, I wake up at 3:00 a.m. to get on a plane 🙄 I wonder if I’ll have trouble sleeping
Counting the hours to seeing everyone
