Lately I've been having a couple of blood problems. Too high of this. Too low of that. I still have blood labs done twice a week and generally although I check the results online, I don't hear much from the transplant center unless something is way wrong.
I heard from them last week and they ordered several extra blood tests for me to have done this past Monday. I heard from them again this morning with the news that I have an active blood virus that they are a bit concerned about.
Concerned to the point of quadrupling my medicine and restarting the IVs that I had received once a month for three months in the fall. Now they want those IVs to be done everyday for the foreseeable future. They briefly told me that they will put a long-term use IV line into my arm and then I will have the fun of giving myself the IV each day.
My next clinic appointment wasn't suppose to be until April, now they want me to come up in two weeks for a "major" blood work-up and consultation to see where things stand.

That's all I know for now. I'm sure more will follow.
It has been a long winter.
