The posts are sparse these days because I have an eye infection that makes it uncomfortable to have my eyes open, and also makes it hard to read. The eye infection makes my eyes swollen and red, to the point that it makes other people's eyes water just to look at them. I will spare you pictures, at least for now.
There's still no movement on the blood counts. The doctor in charge of my treatment isn't worried. In fact, we might take advantage of the continuing low counts to go straight to transplant without the typical out-of-hospital interval between the remission phase and the transplant phase.
I'll write more when I can see more clearly.
Dear Joe, I am really, really sorry to hear about your eyes. I hope they heal quickly! Hi to Mara! Jackie
