My friend Shannon in Asheville left me a message on the blog last week with a comment about my hemoglobin level of 14. She said that I must be levitating on all of the oxygen that I am now getting with so many new red blood cells. I really liked her comment and thought it was an apt description of all the great pumping ability I have now that my cell counts are normal. Gloriously normal is how think of them. I'm sure it will wear off eventually, but I feel quite energetic with all of these great new red blood cells at my beck and call. So yes I am levitating.
And today I got to work in my clinic for the first time in 7 months. That makes me levitate with purpose. Several times today I found myself just grinning from ear to ear either because a coworker had welcomed me back or a patient agreed to take my advice. I didn't do anything profound today, diabetes checks and pap smears aren't like that, but it was fun and good to be helpful. There are new people in the clinic to make things lively and interesting. I'll be getting used to the pace of going all day and learning the new computerized medical record as I go. Sweet.

Tree and Holly,
Happy new year! Thanks for a great dinner with friends on Christmas Eve Eve. Very nice to see everyone and feel the warmth of many friends around the table. Glad you had good trips to Kansas and California.
Hope getting back to work is very satisfying. Enjoy getting back to the routine of work and challenge of being a healer. Glad you are now in the realm of a healed healer.
Let the countdown to Tree's Treadmill to Trail Trek begin!
Love, Julia
