Recovery and Blah Writing

It is getting tougher to write a self-respecting blog about an illness when you are on the way to recovering from that illness. To be sure, I still get fatigued far too easily, and I continue to have trouble getting to sleep at night, and my back still hurts when I bend over, but overall, I'm slowly getting better. Now where's the excitement in that? I've actually reached the point at which I no longer need a nap or two to get through the day. I still need to lie down 2-3 times in order to give my back a rest, but that is less than I used to require. We also finally have the protime level of my blood where it ought to be (actually at last measurement, it was slightly higher than it should be--too "thin"--but that is better than the weeks in which it remained stubbornly low). It's also great that Florence no longer has to give me inoculations of anticoagulants, a fact for which both Florence and my stomach (the injection site) are grateful. So the order of the day is to exercise, build stamina, and get back into a normal sleep pattern. Pretty mundane stuff for the "Stem Cell Stud," but I guess recovery is inherently less dramatic than disease. If any follower of this blog has an idea about how I can make this story of recovery a more compelling read, please let me know!
