Still nothing to report!

Still nothing to report - we're still waiting, watching my counts. Today my neutrophils were up to 1,497, which is only 3 neutrophils away from "normal". BUT that's a jump of over 1,000 neutrophils in 2 days, so they may not "stick". In any case, my counts were okay today, and I didn't need any blood products. So Happy Anniversary to me!

Speaking of anniversary, we're celebrating our 3rd with a walk around the neighborhood, panko-encrusted salmon (one of my favorite recipes), and some mindless TV. Not exactly dinner at Restaurant Eve or Vidalia (two of the restaurants I was eyeing for our anniversary dinner), but it's better than nothing (and better than hospital food)!

I thought I'd post one of my favorite photos of us:

That's from October 2008, when we went to the Eastern Shore for a long weekend. We had hoped to make it back there for a weekend before the transplant, but my counts never got high enough, so phooey. BUT if my neutrophils stay where they currently are, we're planning a trip back to The Narrows for lunch - their crabcakes are considered by some foodies to be the very best in MD, and the last time we had them I almost fainted they were so incredible. ALL crab, no filler.

And their cream of crab soup was so amazing and rich that I couldn't even finish it - it was so delicious.

Now I'm hungry just from looking at the photos, and I think I'll go start the salmon. *crossing fingers for high neutrophils and a crab-filled Saturday*
