Yes, so it occurred to me that I haven't written an update in a while. Sometimes I visit my own site to reread the proposal story. I cry when I see people get married on tv. I cry when my best friend gets engaged. I WILL BE A BASKET CASE at my own wedding ;)
In fact, because I am so sure of tears, I am pretty sure we'll be doing the pictures before the ceremony - that way we can spend more time with our out of town guests, and perhaps not be a sniffly snuffly mess at the altar ;)
Wedding planning and a touch of illness have dominated my life as of late. Work is still going well. I recently moved off of the Toy Story 1 - 3D project and onto UP. Medically, I have been doing WONDERFUL since transplant.
But.
Yeah, there is always a but isn't there?
I got a fever last week. At the time I had a high heart rate, low WBC (as always), fever, and low blood pressure. These are all possible signs of sepsis, so even though I didn't feel THAT bad, I got admitted to the ICU.
Better safe than sorry! I am happy to report that no infection was found, and thus it was probably viral. I hope all fevers don't have to be treated this way!
I've also been having a mild gastroparesis flare. It's not THAT mild, but the fact that it is a flare and not an unrelentingly angry stomach like the days pre-transplant make me happy enough that I'm sure I'll work through it.
As for the wedding... I'll have to refer you over to http://www.ffwed.com. It's almost done... like maybe it will be in a couple of days :) I've got the church, the reception hall, the dress, the bridesmaid dresses. I don't need anything else right? Okay, so realistically we still have a bit to do, but I feel like we are at least 50% there.
As I write this post, I realize I've gotten old and settled. I have nothing fun to report! I got my trees trimmed, does that count? My parents visited. My dog is still a lapdog (lab mix). Yes, I think that counts as boring, old, and settled. Too bad ;) I love it.

To plug my tree trimmer, I used Matthew Bowman of Complete Tree Care in Berkeley. Did a great job for a great price if you are looking.
