Day + 227

All is well. Had a great week!
Here’s the latest report from my doctor from our last visit.

“CHIEF COMPLAINT/REASON FOR VISIT
A 56-year-old man with post ET myelofibrosis,Day + 218 matched unrelated donor allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant with Big Bu Flu 07/24/2019.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS
Mr. Sworan is here with his wife. He had developed pain, redness and swelling to his left dorsal foot 2 weeks ago and was started on IV antibiotics 2/12. He doesn't recall suffering any trauma to his foot. He feels that it is improving significantly, he just has a residual skin wound with granulation and necrotic tissue. He denies any fevers or chills. No n/v/d. Rash quiet, just hyperpigmentation on torso and face now but fading. Still with ocular GVHD but slowly improving.”

So I’ve got that going for me, which is good.

Since My immune system is still suppressed, I really need to be aware of where I go and who I’m around due to this corona virus thing. I was being careful before, but now I’m very concerned about crowds , who or what I touch, and very liberal with the hand washing and sanitizer.
I felt odd about the mask wearing before, now I wonder if people think I have the covid-19 when I’m out and about. The panicking is getting a little crazy. (Not me, just the rest of the world)

Spring break is in a couple of weeks and every idea I come up with gets shot down by nurse Ratchet.
(Umm, coo coos nest reference)
So far it might be Top Golf. It seems to be the least risky.
I really wanted to go skiing. Dammit.
