Today I got my 9 Month PCR results back. I am very happy with the result of 0.259%. I found it pretty hilarious that back when I got my 6 Month PCR I had used my rate of log reduction (.33 log reduction in 90 days) to plot my perspective 9 and 12 Month PCR Results and the number I came up with for my 9 Month was .26 almost the exact number of my actual result. Many people on here explained to me how silly it was to try to plot such a trend and they were most certainly right. I just find it pretty funny I calculated almost the exact actual 9 month PCR number with my crazy math. However, I am now not worried about hitting MMR by 12 Months (my 12 month result would be .12% based on my rate of log reduction calculations aka crazy math). If I get .12% or lower that would be great but as long as I am trending downwards I have finnaly come to peace with the fact that I am going to be OK and I shouldn't let the numbers give me anxiety. Special thanks to PhilB, Scuba and Trey for helping me realize that.

If I remember correctly you and Trey managed to get a picture of the Big Dipper when you were plotting your results Pin. :-)That is such good news, congratulations and I'm so glad you are feeling a bit better about things. People around here are excellent for that
