Day to day things are pretty normalized, as I have been writing. Today was another such day. Infusion clinic, walk back to our apartment, snack, coffee, 2-mile walk on the South Lake Union walking path, a nap dinner and so on. I gather things could be a lot worse. My biggest frustration is that I continue to have hearing loss, I assume based on the Rhinovirus I am fighting and resulting fluid in my middle ear that won’t drain. I do hope this will resolve. In my past I have had exquisite hearing so this rough to deal with. As I said, with all the side effects of a transplant, things could be a lot worse,

Sharon is watching over me like a hawk. It is amazing to see her dedication to all details that keep me going. Living with an immunocompromised person is not easy. Food preparation is different, cleaning our living space needs to be immaculate and so on. Also her making sure she is not missing any changes in my behavior that means a side effect from my treatment. She does this without me prodding her. I know it is hard and lonely and I can’t thank her enough.

Next set of scoreboard stats will coordinate with the baseball All Star home run derby on Monday. I hope to hit things out of the park.
