First Full Day of Freedom!

The day started with an 8:00 appointment with the treadmill at rehab. I walked for 30 minutes. It was pretty painful, but I did it. I am still sore from the most recent surgery. Ironically, I don't have pain from the transplant site, just tightness.
After returning to my home away from home, I received a visit from the home health nurse. I will be on IV antibiotics for about two weeks to clear up an infection.
The remainder of the day was spent trying to get comfortable and rest, which I did at times. I sent Renee on some errands to pick up medical supplies and groceries. She is planning to make me some comfort food tomorrow. My sense of taste has been out of whack due to some of my meds, but this should improve over time.
Another huge thanks to everyone for your kind words and best wishes. They have really helped get me through my difficult times. Keep them coming! I may be contacting some of my transplant friends soon for some moral support. I am experiencing so many different things right now; I know you all can offer your unique insight.
My address for the remainder of my stay in St. Louis will be Residence Inn Marriott C/O Lisa Cissell, 525 South Jefferson Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63103. This is a very comfortable extended-stay hotel that is just minutes from the hospital.
