Not yet a new post

We'll I've been away from the blog for about 3 months and come September, I'm going to be at the 7 month mark for being post transplant. That' gives me a little bit of fear, a little bit of joy, and a little bit of 'could care less'.

I'm now working (and have been working full time since early/mid july. My supervisors and the company as a whole has been very understanding about my various appointments and absences over the past year. I have some really great friends here at work, church, and at and at home in Chesterfield County. At any rate I get the blood work, pet, and doctor's review of these two in the next week. My back is aching a lot, but I don't know what that has to do with anything. My intention is to have it looked at and assessed at my next appointment.

On the bright side, I'm running again - 21 miles this week alone, and I'm going ot try to increment up as quickly as possible so I can be in the best possible shape for the next avaialable race. It feels incrediblly good to do what my body wants to do for a change - with no caveats or reservations. My counts seem to have rebounded like magic. All I have left to do is to get my form right.

The girls had their pinata party this week and all of their little friends came down. They built a big pinata (I helped) and the kids tore it to ribbons. I'll post pix if I can find em.

I hope this letter finds all of my friends and family well!
God bless,
Patrick
