Bad blogger, bad!

Ok, my blogger's license should be revoked - I haven't posted in quite a while!

It's like when you know you should call someone and then you don't right away, so more time goes by and you feel like, "Well, I can't call now - too much time has passed!" So finally you feel so guilty that you make the call - or just move without a forwarding number....

What can I say? The combination of lazy and busy is not a good one. Matty and I went on our honeymoon the first two weeks of April - we went to the Chianti region of Italy and it was magical. We miss it a lot. I also started with a new company right around that time, so it's been study study study, meetings aplenty and preparing for in-house training the first two weeks of June.

Aside from a cold that turned into numerous secondary infections for the better part of two weeks, I'm doing and feeling pretty good. I had a lung function test today and the results were about the same as last time. Dr. K said that's to be expected, especially after such a dramatic lung capacity increase last time. My hands have really surprised me - the flexibility is much better! I'm walking around with my hands in fists "just cause" and to be honest, I have no idea how or why things are better. I have not been wearing my brace or doing my exercises (the lazy thing again) so I have to assume things have improved on their own. Hooray!

In three months I'm to have another bronchioscopy test and Dr. K says they will take me off the Gleevec to see how I do without it. I don't think I like the sound of any of this, but it's important to see if I can get by with less medication. I say - if it's not broke....

Matty and I are doing the local walkathon on June 8, and I'm looking forward to it. Tina will be there and it will be nice to meet some people. Tina says she's glad I'm participating because she can introduce me around - as someone with a great attitude, she says. Does she know I'm not all that charming in the AM? I'll take some pics and post em here!

So, mea culpa on not posting for so long. I do enjoy it and I figure, even if one person peeks in to read it every now and then - that's pretty cool, right?
