So I figured I would update things for everyone....
The MAC infection is worse. Not significantly so, but it's causing me more issues. The Leukemia is so far, stable. I hope it will stay that way for a while longer. I'm now living in the Seattle area so my sister can help me due to my health. Short term memory is fried. I have gaps in my long term memory as well. I have an Orchiectomy scheduled for the 24th of this month, after which I will be able to cut out Spiro from all the pills I am taking. My right kidney shut down completely for a few weeks then fired back up. It's now running (according to the doctors) at about 80% capacity. No clue why it shut down or why it started back up. Docs are scratching their heads on that one. Emotionally I am doing well. I won't deny I am somewhat scared of the fight I am engaged in, but even with that, I am happier and more content with my life than I have ever been before.
Physically I am still developing nicely. My hips, butt, and thighs have a bit more padding now and I actually fill out my girl jeans ok (not perfect, but getting there). My breasts are developing nicely. My body hair growth has REALLY slowed down, and the hairs are lighter in color and MUCH thinner than before. In fact, that carpet of hair I had on my tummy and chest.. is basically not there anymore. The hairs have thinned down so much and slowed down so much that I only have to shave my chest and tummy about once every six weeks (otherwise I look like a fuzzy peach lol). Leg hair has thinned and slowed down as well. Sadly facial hair has not.
So... in general, things are going good for me. My RV is parked against my sisters house. My car is parked behind it. Oh... hell I forgot to mention that!! I bought a 2005 Kia Rio a month ago. So yeah.. I got wheels now that are NOT 34 feet long LOL! My health is ok. My mental health is awesome!
Hope ya'll are doing great!
*hugs*
