Finally!

Today is the first Monday since the transplant that I haven't had to go to clinic for blood tests! I'm down to one day a week as of now. It feels positively liberating, although slightly odd at the same time to not have that extra security blanket of twice weekly testing. The puncture bruises in my arm might actually start healing - heh. 

Strangely though I still have to go to Guy's today, just to have my mouth ulcer checked by a hospital dentist. Should be a fairly simple in-out visit as I'm fairly sure it's totally fine now, but would rather have a proper dentist confirm that before I go making assumptions. I also need to find out if I'm ok to go get my eyes tested, too... seriously considering getting them lasered this year if I can afford it. So much for avoiding medical procedures this year! Think that's slightly different though.

Got plans afoot to go over to France for a bit in May, which I am REALLY looking forward to, and some festivaling in June! :) Couldn't even consider that this time last year, so feels really good! Also got to squeeze in another 5 days of holiday before the end of May as it's a "use it or lose it" scenario at work. Extra long Easter, perhaps. :)

Oh and - creatinine has continued to drop, down to 137 now, which is in the right direction! I want it down at 120 or less, doctor on Thursday said 130 would satisfy them, but I might still need another biopsy. I think the Tacrolimus levels might be a tad too high, but I shall wait til Wednesday and my next appointment before fretting about it.
