Today I went to the clinic at Loyola for the usual follow up. It had been a month since I’d been there. Right after the transplant it was every week, then every two weeks and this time a month. But today my wonderful surgeon Dr. Holt said “See you in three months”….whew! I’m passing from one phase of post transplant to the next. Feels scary and happy all at the same time. So today’s elimination is my passage into the next phase. And also not having to drive down to Loyola as often. That, too, is a happy elimination because it is a bit of a drive and a long morning in the clinic but it is also mixed with some sadness. Loyola has almost felt like home the last three months so I feel like a (54 year old) child who’s about to head out on her own with only occasional visits to home now. Happy and sad…
Thanks for reading.
