Another day in the clinic today for my infusion and weekly consultation with my doctors. All things considered all is well. Just need to kick out this congestion. I will begin courses of sudafed to try to open up my ears. My O2 Sat was better today at a number of 92. So not as much worry about that.
I do have a bit of a skin rash which I have had for several weeks. This is a common side effect of transplants and what is included in the Graft vs Host Disease lingering problems. Tomorrow I will have a skin biopsy to consider how significant this is and whether the use of topical steroids is indicated.
My scorecard is good today. On the blood test side, Total WBC = 3.52, HCT= 36, Platelets= 144,000, ANC= 1,230. And on the walking side, again I made it up the hill today walking to the clinic. I know I keep mentioning the hill and so you may ask how steep? According to my Apple watch over a 2-block span the rise in elevation is 45 feet. So a climb of 4+ stories in a building over 2 blocks. The staff has been impressed that I have been able to do this. Overall steps today were 8,460 with 2.5 miles in distance. We keep pushing.
