I got magnesium today and with that the usual CBC (blood test).   My platelets are at 136 from 45 on Monday.  ???  I sure don't understand but the Doctor said don't get hung up on it, it will vary every time and well probably be low for a full year or more.  The rest of the results are where they have been the past month or so.  The blood counts are Good news.  I'm hoping to back to work at the end of September, everything will have to go perfect for that to happen.  So far so good, I think I'm on a roll. 
God Bless,
Scott
