Bed rest

Saturday was a good day. I felt pretty good and the side effects from my medications were tolerable. David, Lesley and I went out to lunch and played Keno. I've been wanting to play Keno lately. Unfortunately, I didn't win! We went at 2pm. I pick odd times to go out to eat hoping that the restaurant will not be crowded. We were the only people at a table and there were 3 people at the bar. I'd say I picked the perfect time. After lunch I was pretty wiped out and I spent the evening relaxing in my recliner watching TV.

Sunday I woke up not feeling well at all. I was weak, nauseated, extremely shaky and overall exhausted. My limbs were heavy and my joints ached. I didn't stay up for very long. I went back to bed within an hour. I spent the rest of the day in bed. I really don't like days like this. I found myself crying a couple times yesterday because I felt so awful. I worry that something is going wrong but my vital signs were okay so I don't really have anything to report to the transplant team other than vague symptoms. If they continue for a few days then I will report them. Rejection and infection are always a concern for me. I do everything I can to prevent this from happening. I want nothing more than to protect my new heart. It definitely causes my anxiety at times!

I woke up this morning and I'm feeling pretty much the same as yesterday. I am up and out of bed. I will try to stay up for as long as my body will allow.

Wishing everyone a healthy day
