Vince's Journey

I had my first maintenance Rituxin treatment on Tuesdsay and it went rather smoothly. I did spend 7.5 hours at the doctors office but that's what I've come to expect with these treatments. The good news was there were no complications and Dr. Leming said I continue to be boring, which is a good thing.

I'll have the CT scans repeated later this month, if all goes well the doctor said we probably won't do them as frequently after that. I'll get my next maintenance Rituxin in December.

I'm feeling stronger. This week,I ran 6 miles on back to back days for the first time in quite a few months. I feel a little tired today but have to admit, it is getting a easier every time I go out and put in a few miles. I just have to keep building up my strength.

I also lost 8 pounds since my doctors visit in August. I think that's due to the fact that I'm exercising more. I still have a way to go to get my weight where I'd like it to be but if I keep working at it, I should be where I want to be by the holidays. Then I can gain it all back by eating all the great holiday foods!

Of course the big story this weekend will be the Ohio State/Texas football game. The Buckeyes owe the Longhorns big time for last year's heartbreaker and while I know I'm going with my heart, I'm picking OSU to win...the same as I have every game for the past 37 years!!

Our son, Judd, has been at a Kairos retreat all week and we're looking forward to having him back tonight...the house has been pretty calm and quiet without him. I hope you all have a great weekend and....

Go Bucks!

With Peace and Blessings!
