2008

Best wishes to everyone for a healthy and prosperous 2008.

As you've probably discovered, I am currently on a hiatus from posting regularly to the blog. Short of some minor changes (like getting off the Tricor, slight edema improvements) there simply has been no news to discuss for the time being. After being a avid blogger for the last few years on my fight against this disease, I have found that I need to "disappear" from the scene for a bit. For the last couple of years I have been knee-deep in hospital visits and doctor's appointments. Now that I am stable for the time being, I have the first opportunity to take control of my life again. So that's what I would like to do... if only for a little while.

I have regular checkups this winter with my doctors, and we should find out that my body is slowly repairing all of the damage done over the last few years. And, with a little luck, I will still show a complete response in August.

Regarding the blog, I am not sure what my plans are at this point. There have been thoughts of starting a more comprehensive amyloidosis support site. Some have even suggested I write a book about my experiences. But for now, I would like to lay low for the next few months while I decide what to do.

Please keep me in your bookmarks and check in from time to time.
