Quick update:

Numbers still good, liver just a tad higher than normal.

Had my specialist appointment in December. Doc might take me off of Revlimid at my 3 year remission mark (June, 2020)

I had surgery in December to remove a screw from my right pinky. It was sticking out of the bone and causing some discomfort. During the surgery, the screw broke off, so it’s still in the bone, but nothing is sticking out. Doc says it’s fine. This is from an injury I had in 2012, and unrelated to Myeloma.

screw in the pinky is what we tried to remove. you can also see my broken ring finger in the same xray

Went snowboarding in December! Going again at least one more time this season.

I’m having a bone marrow biopsy on Feb 7, and then flying to Europe the same afternoon. (that should be painful)

Went to Chiefs Game last weekend, Go Chiefs! My amazing wife has given me the thumbs up to go to the Super Bowl if the Chiefs make it. I’ll make a decision on Sunday if they win.

Happy New Year!

Go Chiefs!!
