A good start to the week. I continue to come down to earth although had a productive walking day as again I walked up the hill to the clinic and back down afterwards. No surprise that down is a bit easier.

Sharon greeted me with a very good cup of coffee. After that we went out on our usual walk on the lakefront path. That seemed like enough for the day so no bike riding. As I have said, I am trying to pace myself, so to speak.

I did have lab tests today so can fill you in on my scorecard. Total WBC: 2.86, Hb/Hct: 11.5/35, Platelets: 115,000, ANC: 1,170, and my chemistries were also good although my kidneys still seemed a bit challenged most likely secondary to the Cyclosporine medication I take to suppress my immune system so as not to reject the donor cells I have inherited from my brother. Glucose: 133, BUN: 23, Creatinine: 1.64, Magnesium: 2.2, which is good enough so my daily IV infusions can be decreased starting tomorrow.

On the walking front, here is how I did today: Total Steps = 10,600, and 4.3 miles at slower pace of 24 minutes/mile. One day at a time.
