Smile New normal

Lisa, and Dan,
Actually this is the first time post transplant that my platelets have made it into the "normal zone". Most of my transplantee friends still have low platelets. Doctors say platelets are the last to come around. I think it's the new normal. So, when you see platelets in 3 digits, even though it's in the Low range, it's still OK.

My friend, post transplant one year out, still has low RBCs, hemaglobin levels, some headache, other than that, doing fine. Her new normal.

As Dan has suggested, my rash and itch might come from my elevated liver counts.
I'll find out some more next week when I go for my follow up check.
Thank you for the feedback.

Meri
