Again and again this morning, I've thought to myself, "Oh! I've forgotten to take my medicine." And then I remember: I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY MEDICINE!

Yesterday, Dr. Flenner told me that I could stop, after two years and two months! (But who's counting?)

The past two times the histoplasmosis antigen in my blood has been measured, the lab has reported it to be "less than .06." Dr. Flenner's expectation was that it would need to be zero before he would declare me healthy. But he consulted with the physician who runs the lab (the only one in the country, as I understand, that measures histoplasmosis antigen levels), and it sounds like "less than .06" might mean zero in my case. So he shocked me yesterday: not telling me to redue the amount of anti-fungal medicine, but to stop it entirely! I'll see him in two months, to make sure that the antigen has stayed at "less than .06."
