Monday was the second half of my semi-annual Rituximab infusion.

I felt fine during the treatment, and I continue to feel fine--even a little better than usual, and I don't know if it's the drugs or if it's all in my head. Anyway, my joints, lungs and head have been well enough this week for lots of activity and fun, including taking in an awesome performance of Wicked!

Tune in again for progress reports, and shots, computer-willing.
