Health Update April 6, 2011

It's still Poetry Month, so I find myself in Dr. Suess mode: 

 "I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!!

Dexamethasone Madness 

I meant to taste a little bit

To ease the muchy flare

But with Dexamethasone infused

I ate without a care

I started with the ice cream

And moved to nuts and jam

And then I had a fried egg

And thought of Green Eggs and Ham

And thought about my children

Who giggled so with me

And thought about myself as well

When I was only three

And then I jumped ahead a few

As each of us have done

And suddenly we’re full adults

And headed on a run

Surprisingly the path is bent

We cannot see around it

And so we slow and slow again

And search until we find it

Illusive though my journey is

The IgM is dropping

Hemoglobin is up a bit

And viscosity is sopping

Now overall the labs look good

Slow and steady and well

My doctor says I’m doing great

And she’s the one to tell.

As for me, I'm on a roll

And may go gaze at the moon.

There's a change in the air

A change in the earth

That makes me want to swoon!

Be well, My Friends, and thank you for all your love and support.
