After the wedding on Thursday, I had a blood test. Thursday night's platelet count wasn't especially good. It was 12. But as long as I'm above 10, I don't need to be admitted to the hospital. So I haven't had any hospital visits all weekend. Yahoo.
I had a visit with Dr. Hook on Friday morning. I'll share about it sometime when I feel more certain about what's next. There are several options but none are especially joy-invoking. In fact, they all kind of stink. And I found out the chance of a spontaneous, permanent remission really isn't 5-10%. It's about 0%. And that specific possibility - the one where I am miraculously and permanently cured without any major medical intervention - is the one I have been banking on for the last 4 years.
Tom and Tonya's wedding reception was Friday night. It was a ton of fun! I am so happy for those two and their whole family. Love is lovely.
Today's assigned Psalm is 119: 105-112.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to observe your righteous ordinances.
I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord, according to your word.
Accept my offerings of praise, O Lord,
and teach me your ordinances.
I hold my life in my hand continually,
but I do not forget your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but I do not stray from your precepts.
Your decrees are my heritage for ever;
they are the joy of my heart.
I incline my heart to perform your statutes
for ever, to the end.
And here's a great quote I came across this morning:
