Hi all,
Well I have been in cardiac rehab for 6 sessions now and there starting to work me a little harder, I still think that I could do more than they are asking but I guess they want to take it slow. They have me working on the treadmill, stepper, bike, and arm machine for 10 minutes each but they have increased the level of each machine. I went to KU for a sonogram of my left leg to check on the swelling and it was normal no blood clots so that's good news. My blood sugar has been creeping up the last month or so so it looks like I have to start taking insulin to keep it under control, they tell me that I might be able to stop the insulin when I stop taking predisone, after the transplant I was taking 70mg and now I'm down to 22mg a day. hopefully I will be able to get completely off the predisone within the first year. But other wise have been feeling great. Susan and I have been getting out quite a bit and it's great to see and talk to so many friends that have been keeping up on my progress. I have been harvesting all kinds of veggies from my garden the last couple of week's and have been learning how to can all my goodies, so far I have canned tomato sauce, salsa, tomatoes with cacutzza, pickles, peppers, and peaches, Concetta has shown me the Doe's and dont's of canning, she's a real old McDonald. I have a biopsy comming up soon I will post the result when I get them. Well I'm getting a little long winded so I will talk to you later. please keep me and my Donner family in your prayers. give the gift of life be an organ Donner.
Cheers Frank
