Happy birthday, Laura! Sorry I'm a day late - just didn't get logged in yesterday. Platelets close go 100 sounds very good. We are taking the summer a day at a time. I thought I was off the antinausea drugs but that lasted about two days. We have to keep reminding ourselves that the healing is not a linear progression but a seies of zigzags. I am slowly getting better and so grateful daily that I take hardly any medications and my issues are trivial compared to most. Eating continues to be the big hurdle. Luckily, I can still lose a lot of weight before I need to start worrying about wasting away. I make myself eat even though it is very rare for anything to taste good.
