A Streak Comes to an End

8 months.

259 days.

6,216 hours.

372,960 minutes.

You get the point.

That is how long it has been since my transplant, and in that time, I have not had a single fever, couch, sneeze, sore throat or anything else that resembles a cold.

That streak came to an end Sunday.

I woke up with all of the above, minus the fever. The absences of a fever meant that it was nothing serious, more of a nuisance then anything. Of course with all the news coverage of the H1N1 virus, I was of course worried about that, especially considering my compromised immune system. That plus the fact that I feared that the Swine Community might be looking for payback after this post. My transplant center said that as long as symptoms went away soon I was fine.

The symptoms are gone now and I can move on. Although I will be keeping my eye on any pigs that cross my path.
