I had my quarterly DR appointment yesterday with Dr Merkel at UPenn. Seems all is well and I am still in remission. I had my last rituximab and prednisone in April 2015. Overall everything looks good and the dr was happy that I finally got serious about losing some weight. I have lost 35 ponds in the last 7 weeks its a good start but I have a long way to go.
To say Thank You to my Dr I had a local artist make a super hero painting for him. We used the Vasculitis Foundation symbol as the chest plate. He laughed and seemed happy with the artwork. To us he is our "super dr"
It is great when the Dr spends time with a patient and it's not all just about our health and the issues we face. We tend to quote movie lines back and for from "Animal House" or other movies from our era.
Overall this is just a post to say all is well and I hope each of you get relief from the symptoms we face. It's good to be able to share good news
