Last week I traveled to MSK for an appointment with my transplant doctor. All is well and as expected. The polar vortex impacted NYC so it was a brisk walk to the hospital from the shuttle drop-off location. The doctor confirmed that I still need to adhere to all previous precautions. I see her again in two months. By then if I am clear of any infections I may be able to stop taking one of the daily antibiotics.
Physically I am getting a little stronger. I went on a lengthy hike in the Pennsylvania woods this past weekend with some friends. It included a lot of elevation change and was challenging, but it was good to get a long hike in. I am hoping it helped stimulate my cells to work hard.
This week I start my 6th cycle of maintenance shots (after this cycle only 6 more cycles to go, so almost halfway done).
