I got behind and did not post anything last week. Things have been fairly routine except for one area. Last week my EBV level spiked up, which is a sign that a possible infection may be sneaking up on me. To avoid a possible infection I received an infusion of Rituxin, which is used to treat such situations. The current plan is to receive additional infusions once a week for three more weeks. That will be subject to how the levels change. Currently I feel fine, and these infusions are a standard approach to mitigating this type of potential infection.
This week I started my next maintenance cycle of shots. I will receive two small shots daily for the duration of the work week. I have pretty much gotten use to them, as the side effects seem nominal.
For exercise I decided to focus on indoor rowing for the next month or so. Rowing is a great conditioning exercise and engages all the major muscle groups. I have a Concept 2 rower in the basement and I find it very efficient and effective in getting a good workout. I am getting stronger, but still have a ways to go.
