+2 Years, 3 Months, 1 Day

I didn't mean to go so long without posting an update, but you can continue taking no news as good news. Counting the days is a bit too annoying now, but it has actually been 27 months as of yesterday since day 0. I celebrated my second "birthday" 3 months ago, and things are continuing to go well. I'm still symptom free and medication free. I have been having a bit more of an issue with acid reflux when I'm more active (weightlifting, specifically) but taking Aciphex twice on days when I need it seems to be doing the trick. I haven't been sick since my last cold in May, aside from food poisoning/a short GI bug. Hopefully there's not much to report before my next followup in the summer, but I'll try to post an update in January.

Some other exciting news is that I will be studying abroad at Uppsala University in Sweden for the spring semester. I have kept my blog posts pretty dry and to the point purposely so the stem cell transplant can speak for itself, so I intend to start another blog that will have some more substance for those interested in keeping up with my adventures, which I will link to here when the time comes.
