I haven't posted on my Blog in several days because I really have not had much to document. I'm feeling better than I did last week since adding Zyrtec to my medication regimen. Although I've had my ups and downs. I am still experiencing the usual side effects from my regular medications but that is all part of the process in this journey.
We went to the camper this weekend. I felt good on Friday and Saturday. I was actually able to partake in the Poker Run. I basically sat in the golf cart while Elizabeth drove us from site to site collecting our cards. The poker run is one of my favorite events at the campground so I was encouraged to be participating. Unfortunately, I woke up around 2am Sunday morning violently vomiting 🤮. This set the tone for the rest of the day. Thankfully there was no more vomiting just a lot of nausea. To say the very least, I felt terrible and Sunday was definitely a down day.
Monday was an improvement. We have to close the camper by next weekend so David had started putting away some of the big furniture outside. Elizabeth helped him close up the pop up camper... better known as the "Guest Suite". I was able to help out a little by packing up the kitchen and living room area in our camper. I had to take my time and rest frequently but I got it done. I felt very accomplished but certainly wiped out.
Yesterday I had my weekly blood draws at Cooley Dickinson Hospital. The heart transplant team called me this afternoon to inform me that all my levels are appropriate except for my Tacrolimus. The level has dropped from 9.5-9.3 so my dosage will increase to 3mg twice a day. This medication seems to cause most of my symptoms so I'm a little anxious about how I will feel with this adjustment but I know that I can handle it. Honestly, I have no choice and I really feel that my new heart is happy, healthy and adjusting well as evidenced by my consistently positive results. I'm just going to power through the tough days and savor in the good days. Always looking forward to more and more good days.
Wishing everyone more good days

For the most part it seems like you had a very good weekend. It is good to get away with no pressures. I always look forward to reading your blog. ❤️
Sad to hear that camp is closing. A lot of work to close down for the season. Shorter days and hibernation season,but hibernation season is also time to regenerate. Keep that positive attitude coming. Your body is regenerating as well. ❤❤❤
So much better alternative than what you were facing in May. Things can only go up and/or forward from here! Thanks for the update KellyAnn . Always appreciated! Love you. 💕🍀
Sorry to hear about the bad days but like you said you had Friday& Saturday good days. I’m sure you’ll love it when you have more good days. Hang in there! Love you Kelly 💚
Thank you for the update, it eases my mind even if you have nothing to report. 😁. I’m selfish that way. #MyHero
