Been Awhile

Hello all - has been a long time since my last confession - oops that is for church.. I mean it has been a long time since my last post.

I am doing well - dealing with allot of graft VS host -

Month Complete

Hey all,
I have completed a month of Photo peresis and now will be going to every other week and will do that for the next 2 months.

I have noticed some minor changes for the good, but it is still taking awhile and they said it would. Some days my skin is really tight. The treatments make me very sensitive to light for the first 48 hours after a treatment - really bad.

So this week I am off and head back next week to begin month 2.
That's it for now more to come.

More Stuff

Hi All
Well like I said I was going to start blogging again and I should since I have stuff going on with my health from my transplant.

I am currently getting photo paresis at Vanderbilt 2 times a week for a month, which my month is up next week. Then the treatments go to every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks. So I will update when I know which one it will be.

The treatment well it takes about 3 hours on average sometimes longer. Then put a 17 gage needle in your arm and get the IV going into the machine takes the blood into the machine take the white cells and puts the other back in. Then they zap the white cells with UV rays and then put those back in. VERY Sensitive to sunlight for 48 hours after treatment. This treatment has been very affective with Graft VS Host side affects like I am having.
Well hope everyone is trying to stay cool.

Bye for now

Happy Sunday

Hi All,
Things have been going up and down for me. I am having major chronic GVHD and having to go to Vandy every week for treatments to help. The treatments are Photo pherysis (sp) - every week two times during that week and a treatment takes about 4 hours. They take my blood out with a 17 gage needle - yeah that is a BIG BITCH ! let me tell you .... then once the blood is out in this machine it goes into these honey comb looking things and once they all full they close the lid and zap the blood with UV rays and they put blood back in my body and it will help with my major side affects I am having.

The affects are skin is super tight and getting tighter and keeps pulling and pulling my skin - it hurts and is very uncomfortable. My eyes are also killing me with pain and soreness.

Well that all for now will write more every week again.

June 2 2011

Hey everyone. It has been awhile.

I am having major Graft Vs Host going on with my skin, eyes, face, back, mouth so I have gone back on some meds and it is helping. Thank god was getting pretty bad skin is so tight makes me hunch over like a 90 year man.

Taylore is officially a senior in High School last year before college...yikes what are we going to do.

Well just tying to get back in the swing of things here to write something everyday.

I am doing good feeling really good.
Dr appointment last Friday went great - I am tapering off my main Host vs Graft disease drug, which is really good. So in 1 month I will be off it totally - so the big test will be a couple weeks after that to see if I break out in any skins rashes or have problems in my mouth. So will keep everyone updated on that as it comes.

Well Happy Sunday all

Well it was a hell of a week last week - My girls came home Sunday night and I picked them up from the airport - and while doing so I started having a serve pain in my left chest. Stacy drove home - I had no idea what was going on felt like a heart attack - so we called 911.
They took me to the hospital and the long night began for my poor Stacy who just spent 2 days traveling to come home and my mom who was in town to go to that Nashville appointment I had last Monday, which of coarse didn't make. Well it wasn't a heart attack turned out to be pleurisy, which From Mayo clinic "is inflammation of the lining of the lungs and chest (thepleura) that leads to chest pain (usually sharp) when you take a breath or cough. The main symptom of pleurisy is pain - and boy did I have that.
So once I got to to hospital and they doped me up real good I mean real good.
I got out on Wednesday and been basically in bed since then. I just spent a little bit talking to Stacy to get all the details for Monday and Tuesday as I was pretty unclear what went on. BIG TIME LOVE TO My WIFE STACY and my MOM for spending long hours at the hospital.
I am not 100% but certainly better. I still have some antibiotics to finish taken.
Well not sure what this week will be like. I am still on liquid diet and soft foods more from the teeth thing I think than this.

Well hopefully next weeks post will be much less action - if you will.
Have a good week all.

All going good had a good week. Didn't play racquetball at all this week so I need to get back on that to get my exercise. I am Feeling good - the only thing is this darn mouth thing --- hmmm I am not sure if it is getting better - sometimes I do sometimes I don't - so It looks like we going to bump the steroid to clean this up.

Well hope all is well with all

Sunday Day 292

Happy Sunday to all

Had a good week last week. The Dr Appointment went well normal stuff. My Host Vs Graft in my mouth is very bad though so we have a game plan to address. I had admitted I have not been so diligent with my nighttime cream - so I am making sure I do that every night - I will provide update to Catherine (Nurse) in 2 weeks if mouth is better - if not they going to up my steroid dosage to try to clear up.
When I go to my appointment in January if not better then we have 2 other options to clear up the mouth - both are much more in tailed - one requires 2 trips to a facility in Bethesda MD and the other would require weekly visits to Vandy for a procedure and would be weeks for a couple of months - so these two options are much more involved.
We will see how things go and keep ya'll updated on that.

Going to be a busy week with work - have bunch or training set up and people moves and all kind of stuff.

Hope all is well
Everyone have a good week.

Sunday Day 278

Good Sunday Morning all your Buzzman Bloggers - who still blog with me.

Had a real hard week last week was very busy and my team was traveling so I was solo at the office, but it was a good week.

Played racquetball both Wednesday and Saturday - Saturday had some great games I actually played 3 games and got a great cardio work out - I felt OK little winded and just working on getting the endurance back, but it is looking good after that.

Had a great day at the house got allot of stuff done and felt good.

Today is going to be a great day - headed to walmart for a little run then kick back and relax all day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all this Week -
I am headed out Wednesday to head to West Palm Beach to have Thanksgiving with my parents. Then I will head home driving Taylore's car from Fl. Should be home Saturday.
My dad is driving with me so we can take some time to shoot the shit.

Love to all

Hope everyone has a Wonderful Holiday this week - We the Landry Family I know has allot to be Thankful for - and I am sure you all do to in some way
