The Very Best Christmas Present Ever

This is a very short post, I'm afraid. I know it's been awhile since I posted last, but various things kept getting in the way. Still, here goes, with the best Christmas present I've ever received. Something I had to share without any delay.

 

As you all no doubt know by now, the marker for amyloids is something called Lambda Light Chains, which are found in the blood. The normal range is between 1 and 3. Five months ago, I was at 75. Four months ago, that had gone up to 96. The higher the LLC number, the worse for you. So I wasn't doing so hot.

 

This morning the Mayo gave me my most recent LLC number. 3.14!!!! No, that isn't a typo. 3.14!!! I'm on the brink of normal. Something I never thought I'd say about myself in any regard, frankly. I've got Liston the ropes, guys, and I really believe that your prayers and well-wishes have helped put him there. Now I just have to put him on the canvas. This isn't a cure, and I'm not even sure whether it will count as remission, but it means I'm still on my feet and will be for a while yet. 3.14! Hot damn!

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everybody.

 

I'll talk to you again after the 1st.

Wow... you may have lost me as a reader of the Wheel of Times Series, as the progression was too slow for my taste.

But non the less I was ... deeply moved after I read about you illness. To be honest I don`t find the words to wrap up my feelings, neither in german nor english. But I`m glad it seems there some light at the end of the tunnel for you. My best wishes to you and my earnest hope that what happend to your LLC number is a triumph of will over body.

You know, as a reader you sometimes start to get used that the author of your favorite books is there, putting out books every once in a while. You gave me a huge amount of hours of great reading, be it with your Conan books or with the first 5 books of Rand and his friends (I left after book 6). Thx for this... You have a great talent and I really hope that you will have plenty of time left to bring more young souls to reading and give the older ones a door to long lost dreams of their youth.

Greetings from Germany

That is amazing news for you. 3.14...getting that news must have been like getting a slice of an award winning piece of PI. Sorry..bad pun for great news...keep the healing up and the number down.
