Day +33

All is well!
Just battling to keep the potassium levels down and my magnesium levels up because of the meds I’m taking.
One day it will be within range, and I think I’m doing great, but then the next Mayo visit labs say otherwise and I have to have and IV or fluids and/or magnesium.. (Which adds 2 hrs to the visit ugh!)

Other than that, I feel great!

Here’s an interesting test they do. (Chimerism analysis). For all you Biology majors.

Interpretation

Peripheral blood, chimerism analysis: CD3-positive T-cells:  The CD3-positive fraction contains approximately 50% donor DNA and approximately 50% recipient DNA. CD33-positive myeloid cells:  The CD33-positive fraction contains approximately 100% donor DNA and approximately 0% recipient DNA. 3 informative loci were used in the analysis of this sample. Signing Pathologist: Matthew T. Howard, M.D. The pre-analytical cell sorting was performed on a research basis only. The analytical sensitivity of this assay is approximately 5% in a posttransplant specimen (donor and recipient DNA mixed chimerism). T-cells and myeloid cells were enriched to a purity of 95% or greater. Markers analyzed: D3S1358, D8S1179, FGA, SE33, vWA, D21S11, D22S1045, D10S1248, D16S539, D18S51, D5S818, D1S1656, CSF1PO, D2S441, D13S317, D12S391, TPOX, D19S433, D7S820 and D2S1338
