Good news on the topup I had

The virus or what ever I have had for 4 weeks is still causing problems. The mouth ulcers have gone, the cough has improved, throat still raw from coughing, and I am starting to feel better. However I have lost 12 lbs in weight in last few weeks and the rash, which we thought was a reaction to medication I have now been off for 10 days, suddenly got worse over night. It has spread to the whole of my trunk, and now arms, underarms and the first signs on my legs.
So I popped into hospital and the Dr put me on strong Aciclovir in case it is shingles or similar- but frankly neither he nor the other two doctors know exactly what it is.
On the very good side, the latest chimerism test has showed that the topup has done very well and the percentage of the key cells that was at only 55% has gone up to the 85% donor! 😊
If it keeps going up I may not need another topup, but if it does not get to >95% or so I may need one or more topups.
