I cannot believe it has been so very long since I have written in my blog. Things went ok with the new catheter. It left me very bruised and sore but that has gone away and it is working quite well. I only have to get blood about every four or five weeks and that is not so bad. The Exjade (iron binder) is doing a good job of bringing my iron and ferritin numbers down and I am not even taking it at this time. I will start again if my numbers start to go back up.

I had to have a cyst taken off my right hand today so it is very sore. Thank goodness I am left-handed so I can do most things. They will send it off but it looked like it will be fine. The pain has returned so I am unable to stay in bed so thought I would get up and do a few things and hope I can rest later tonight. All-in-all things are going pretty well. Spring is here and our yards look wonderful and the weather is cool and beautiful. That will all change in a few weeks and summer will come to town.
