Hello friends & fam,

My apologies as it's been a few months since I've posted here. No excuse other than that I've been feeling much better and connecting with friends and fam via phone & text individually more now. What a tough winter though! So happy for the nicer weather, fewer rainy days, and getting out and about more!

I'm now able to get my first covid vaccinations again (yes the whole series all over again), and will be going through another few cycles of immunotherapy (Revlimed drug) in the next few months, as the last phase of my transplant process. I then go into a maintenance mode, where they just monitor me, and come January 2024 I get to get started on ALL my childhood vaccinations! Kind of daunting to think about now, but I won't get them done all at once, it just starts the process then as I'll be pretty much fully recovered from the transplant at my year anniversary.

My hair is starting to grow back now though (yay!) and I have a lot more energy without any nausea, and my appetite has returned helping me gain back some lost weight earlier this year. I've even been on a few local outings & overnight trips with friends to Paso Robles, Cambria, Santa Cruz & San Francisco recently. I included some photos below. 

Here's wishing you all a wonderful Spring, good health, and much happiness! 

Heidi
