The count down begins! One week, exactly! I'm extremely excited and nervous... but more excited than anything else.
My platelet count has been cruising around 14 for the past 2 months now...or at least... it was... I haven't had a CBC in 3 weeks, so I don't fully know, really. It could be lower! Ha! But no.. I don't think so. Judging by my last *ahem*..cycle.. I'm gunna say it's around 14. However, no more bruising... unless I whack myself against something hard. And only some petiche on my legs. [I know I've eaten too much garlic (or other blood thinners) when there's more little red dots speckled across my calves].
I've also been off the Prednisone for 2 months. Can I get a "Hallelujah!"? Phew-wee! Never again, I tell you....... never again. Last semester is just one enormous blur... honestly. I played in 3 or 4 recitals, and I barley remember them. Even my best friends! Good grief, what a mess I was! I'm so thankful things are returning to normal.. Maybe not my platelet count, but at least my mental and emotional state, thank you kindly!
Along those lines: My dream last night, a bunch of music school buddies and myself taxied in a giant plastic toy plane to some park and had a picnic. There were a handful of professors there as well, and one of them (Mike) pointed out how healthy I was looking, and the rest concurred with things like "you have more energy" "healthy glow" etc... (these have all been real comments I've been getting from folks). It was a pleasant dream.. nice to see some old friends. :) Heh heh heh.
I love the fact that 145 lbs is now a higher weight for me. Wow what a concept! I've been in the 155 range for so long.. It's just crazy to be 142. And it's not going to stop there! In four weeks, I will be down to what I should be... errr.... which is somewhere in the 120's. Oooo! I like the look of that. 120. Nice.
