3-Month Eval Recap (Followup)

Yawwwwn. I haven't had my morning coffee, so forgive me if I am not coherent.

I gave a ring to my doctor over at Boston Medical to find out the results of the labs that were unavailable on Wednesday. No melodrama here -- like we all guessed, everything appears to be looking good at this point. Free light-chains are about as normal as they could be, and the protein in my urine has dropped from 10.5 grams a month ago, to a little over 9 grams. Assuming that the January results were a fluke (which everyone now believes is the case), this is the lowest they've been since May 2005. Oh yeah.

Actually, I lied -- there is one surprise. Because of my good results, they have not scheduled me for a six-month evaluation. Instead, I will not be evaluated until the one-year mark in August. Of course, I will still need to check up with my nephrologist and hemotologist from time to time, but I may finally get a break from the non-stop visits to the hospital for a while. My health insurance company and I are both pleased.
