It's Been A While

I realize that I haven't written anything for 3 weeks here. I must have gotten a life or something. :-)

I am now on maintenance Rituxan (perhaps with Cytoxin next time). I had my first maintenance dose today. It was also the first time in the past 9 months that I had to have my blood drawn and IV started without the PICC line. I'm not used to the ouch anymore, but it wasn't too bad.

I've had a cough for the past two weeks and have already been through 2 antibiotics. No fever or anything. It's my usual sinus infection-related cough. I got a chest x-ray today just to make sure it hasn't changed into a walking pneumonia or anything. But the doc says maybe the trip to Tucson will knock it out.

Speaking of Tucson, I can't wait to go. We leave on Saturday. I'll be gone for 2 weeks. Heavenly! I can already visualize hiking in the canyons... Wandering through Old Town Artisans... Good tex-mex food... Warm weather... Beautiful desert sunsets... Very romantic. I'm ready! Is it Saturday yet???

I just have to hear the results of my chest x-ray tonight or tomorrow and then go get my counts checked one more time before I leave. Oh, I guess I have to pack too... Where is my mind these days?
