Had another semi monthly biopsy today, then a visit to the clinic to figure out what level to put all the various meds at for the next two weeks. I’m down to something around “only” 25 to 30 pills a day. At the start, it was at least 100 a day, so progress there. I’ve got a large canvas bag that all the meds get carried around in. Weighs like seven pounds!

Had a lung infection about three weeks ago, but we got that cleared up okay. Docs stated it was normal with transplant patients.

I have my DOT physical scheduled for the final week of this month.

Thanks for all thoughts and prayers continually.

That's (mostly) great news PackRat!

Sounds like initially your pill bag was over your lifting limit! Can't even imagine taking that many pills. Glad it is way down from that #.

Please know we are all thinking about you, probably way more than you know.

Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration!

Scheduled for another biopsy (under sedation) tomorrow, then meet with several different specialists after that. Probably have those results back by next Monday. Have the next DOT physical scheduled for next week. Still plugging along trying new old things like shopping, yard stuff, and driving smaller vehicles some.

Thanks for continued thoughts and prayers.thank-you.gif
