Thankful Thursday!

"Thankful Thursday" actually happened yesterday when I got my latest lab results back.  My hemoglobin went from a paltry 9.7 the day I had my knee replaced in November up to a whopping 13.7 when my blood was tested on Monday.  Friends, I am so giving blood next Tuesday!  Watch out, Red Cross!

But even better than my hemoglobin results was my SED rate.  When I was diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica in April of last year, my SED rate was an over-the-top 77!  On Monday, it was 10.  Yup, 10.  Which means I'm now down to 5 mg of Prednisone a day and if things keep going at this rate, I'll be off my Prednisone by late October which makes this a very "Thankful Thursday" indeed!  To God be the glory!
