6/17/15 Biopsy

This visit was not exciting like the last one. We flew in and rested for the night after getting dinner from the hotel restaurant. The next day we went over and labs and tests done. We went up to the cath lab and I went in around 9 am. It was sweet and simple. I got to see "Iron Man" that's what I like to call Doctor Hanna. He reminds me of Robert Downey Jr to me. No problems getting in my vein this time so that was awesome. We then went down and seen the nurse. Ms. Alex seemed happy with my recovery. She just told me to keep up with working out and eating well. I am not happy I have not lost much weight from the prednisone but I am happy to say I have not gained any extra. You have to count the small blessings. That night she called me and said I got another 1R on my biopsy. There was a slight problem though. My white blood cells were low again so they stopped my Cellcept and also lowered my Prograf. I guess my Prograf levels were too high as well. I was upset though because
I have to maintain the same amount of prednisone at least until the white blood cells come back up. Hopefully, they will come up on their own because those shots I had to take before were very painful. I try to think positive though, I am still healthy and alive. Plus I have gotten my low white blood cell count before so I can do it again.

On a side note I have been working for over a month now. I love the job and my manager. Plus we just got another employee and she seems nice as well. I work my butt off but it keeps me busy and I enjoy it most of the time. I am lacking on being a great friend, daughter, family member period, and wife. Between Dewon's busy schedule and now mine we have limited time together. I know that all the hard work will pay off soon though. Right now I am in a great place in my life. I pray that things can only continue to go up from here and I continue to stay healthy. I thank all of you for reading and for all the support and prayers. God bless!
