Fifty Percent

Today marks the 50% mark to a year post-transplant. A year post-transplant is my ultimate sign-post, but this is technically-speaking, a bigger benchmark for me and my progress in keeping the organ I have acquired.

So, I am at 6 months out, and the road looks as clear as one can possibly imagine.

The next month will be a test, however.

A. Swine flu shot will be coming, and no one really knows how those will work. So, there is a threat to my health.

B. There also may be some changes coming in terms of the drugs I am taking, so who knows how that will go after I get the last foreign object pulled out of my chest.

It will be an interesting month to see how my body reacts. But,so far so good.

This is a massive benchmark I have met and it has made up for an awful Friday.
