Good morning. I can't believe I'm almost at the 40-day post-transplant mark! Nor can I believe how much stronger I'm feeling now than I had been for years before the transplant. It's such a miracle!
I've started doing more and more around the house. No "housework" yet, per se. But I've started cooking a bit, which I enjoy. So far, I've had a lot of help with the clean-up which I truly need because by the time I finish preparing, I'm pretty wiped out. Last night's dinner turned out to be really, really nice because Mom, Illana , Keith and Nava joined us. It felt normal and comfortable and I really enjoyed it.
The visiting nurse is supposed to be coming today. Actually, she said she would call sometime yesterday to tell me what time but....I never heard from her. But, then again, it WAS New Years Day so I'm going to cut her some slack. I guess if I don't hear from her, Mom, David and I can just figure it all out ourselves. We have been trained to do it, but haven't on our own yet. It's a little frustrating for me and I am a little nervous about it, but I think it'll be okay. Adding to my anxiety is the fact that I haven't seen the doctor since Monday and am not due to see him again until Tuesday. This is the longest stretch, so far.
Mom is coming for the weekend and Avram is coming for dinner tonight. I haven't seen him in a while but I speak to him practically every day. It'll be nice to see him.
Thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes. Wishing you all a beautiful weekend. Believe in miracles. Pray for peace.
So nice to see you getting back to yourself. B"H a thousand times. Dinner was delicious and so was your homemade sauce. May you be zochah for a complete refua and continue from strength to strength. Love, Froggie

Leah - so glad to hear that you are feeling stronger. Wait til your HGB reaches 10 - 12 on its own. I have all the energy in the world. Anyway, remember not to overdo! I wish I could be there to flush your line and change your dressing for you. I got to be quite the pro at it. Anyway, take care and keep us posted. Remember the line wont be there forever. Keep your chin up.
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots.
