Gettin' Out




Many guitars at EMP
Only two blood draws per week and one meeting with the medical team.  The rest of the time we are being tourists.  Went to the Space Needle Thursday for my birthday dinner.  Today was the UW Spring game.  Tomorrow we go back to the Seattle Art Museum because they have a new exhibit called Meet me at the Center of the Earth.  Art with a Jules Verne slant, perhaps?

At Husky Stadium
Still no GvH symptoms.  It turns out they lowered her Tacrolimus dose not as the start of a taper, but just because her blood level was too high.  Heidi was getting shakey lately in her hands and arms.  As soon as they lowered the Tacrolimus dose the tremor went away.  That's good.  The official taper might start next week.  Another potential starting point for chronic GvH.
I have attached a short video of our hair growing.  Half of us have hair growing.  The half without hair think the video is dumb.  Every day we take a head photo of each of us separately and one together.  I have combined the series into a video.

I hesitate including a video, because it is very clear that nobody watched the last one on the bone marrow extraction.  I put a lot of work into sound effects for that production.  There was canned laughter after every joke and a sawing noise added during the boring.  Fortunately for you, you don't have to go to the extra work of turning on your speakers for this one.  There is no sound.
