Out of the hospital and countdown to going home starts. Today I have to go to the main hospital so they can draw my Prograph level. Prograph is the medication that suppresses the rejection reaction which could result in graph(donor) vs host (my body) disease. It is very important not to miss dose because it is far better and easier to control it than having to suppress a reaction from a missed dose. The main hospital is seven blocks away, but there are plenty of sidewalk benches on the route if I need a break. I'm in such a depleted condition between lack of exercise and not being able to eat well yet. This mucus condition has actually decreased my oxygen absorption. Tomorow a home health nurse will come to draw my othe levels, so I can see where I'm at. That will be every other day for the next two weeks.
God Bless,
Scott
so glad to hear you're out of the hospital and hopefully in a more comfortable bed. to go for a walk are they telling you to wear a mask? i remember 3 weeks after my transplant i went to the gym with a mask and gloves on until the 90 day mark! too funny. you're doing great and you'll be home before you know it!
