October 31, 2007-monthly checkup

I had my monthly checkup Friday. There had been a lump under my left arm Dr. Raish checked for, but it’s gone now. I think I just pulled something at work, but I thought I better be safe than sorry & have him check it out. I started working again October 13 back at Birch. Right now Fridays & Saturdays are what’s available, which works out fine. It gives me a chance to ease back into things. I work as long as I can on those days & then go home & take a nap. I don’t want to get worn down & end up getting sick. I am allowed to eat lettuce & fresh fruits & vegetables in restaurants again. My next PET scan will be at the end of November. They’re going to continue doing those every 3-4 months for a year. Dr. Raish reiterated to stay away from people who are sick until 6 months after the transplant. I think I’ll listen to him. I really have no desire to be sick again anytime soon. =)
