Dave was at the hospital today, getting a follow-up blood test, to see how many of those new red blood cells are still hanging around. He's not as pale or short of breath, as he was before the transfusion, but he is having significant fatigue. So we're curious to see what the bloodwork shows (we'll know tomorrow, maybe.)
While we were there, he also tried to fill another prescription for Famciclovir. Remember the problem he had last time? Different aggravation this time. I'll let Dave explain it to you:

About This Blog
Written by Anna L. Conti, and David W. Sumner. This is a way to keep friends and family informed, without having to make a lot of phone calls, or separate emails. It was started on May 18, 2007, the day after we got the diagnosis of Dave's Leukemia, and we're hoping it will go for a long, long time. This is a personal space, as opposed to the "professional" blogs that Dave & Anna keep elsewhere.
At first, Anna was the only one writing the posts here, but now Dave weighs in fairly regularly. Friends and family can contribute in the comments sections (and we thank you for the many good wishes.)

Oh crap. I have the same problem all the time with my insurance, just for regular meds. Wouldn't you think they could get their acts together, especially for people who have life threatening conditions?
Hang in there. Good to hear your voice.
Love,
