Some good news at my clinic

All normal blood results are normal, the CMV virus has stayed away and the consultant hopes that my new immune system will cope with it in the future.

Even better news is that my chimerism test results came back from two weeks ago. It showed 69% of my CD3 (a critical part of my blood) is from my donor, which has improved from 64% a few weeks ago. All my other blood types are close to 100% from my donor.

So my clinics have been spaced out to once every three weeks, instead of every fortnight.

So it's been a good day as far as my transplant is concerned.

Meanwhile my brother in law had a heart attack yesterday. The emergency services were fantastic and he is already out of danger. My best wishes go out to him

109 days and some better news

The CMV virus has gone away again for a while, so I  hoping to come off the anti viral drug on Tuesday after tests tommorrow

My strength is coming back slowly, so that I can do a few things around the farm now eg put up a race with hurdles for scanning the pregnant ewes, or push the silage up for the cattle.

I had to drive for 2 1/2 hours yesterday to pick up my dog after an operation for an infection in his leg. He is recovering well
