Hi Hopeful - love that moniker, by the way
.
This format takes some getting used to, so still trying out best ways to reply to people in the best way.
Yes, I've tolerated the ATG pretty well, which is great. The patience thing will be, as you say, the hardest part!
I love to exercise and will be SO ready to do that when I get back up to speed a little. My blood counts were so low that I had zero energy to do anything. So, even getting those platelet and red blood cell counts up via transfusion has already vastly increased my zest for life and bodes well, I think, for the desire to get out and hike and ride horses (two things that my wife and I love doing together).
Also, thank you for responding and giving advice and encouragement!
Matt
