I had a good appointment with the heart transplant clinic on Tuesday. We discussed the fact that I have not been feeling well lately and I feel that I'm at a plateau in my recovery. We discussed my symptoms- headaches, hot flashes, chills, shakiness, tremors, fog brain, nausea, upset stomach, rib and chest pain with extreme fatigue. They have recommended changing my anti rejection medications to a longer acting one with equivalent properties. I was concerned at first because I was told that any changes of medications would have inferior effects but I was reassured that isn't the case with these particular medications. I'm willing to try anything.
The team will also be checking multiple blood levels and a CPET ( exercise stress test) to evaluate my heart. I'm very pleased that they are investigating my symptoms further and looking for alternative treatments to help me feel better.
Yesterday I had cardiac rehab and again I feel that I did a little better than the last session . Baby steps are appropriate for this challenge. I did some upper body repetitions and I'm really feeling it today in my ribs and sternum. I will probably take it a bit easier on the upper body next week but I will keep putting the work in. I want to get stronger! I was also notified by the heart transplant team that my Tacrolimus level was 7.9 which is low and I was instructed to adjust my dose to 2mg in the morning and 2.5mg in the evening. I am also iron deficient and I will require an iron infusion in the near future. This result could definitely be contributing to my symptoms. Last but most importantly my biopsy results were 0 R0 which is NO REJECTION!!! I would dance around if I could š!!! I'm so grateful!!

George died on October 21, 2011, by which time I had fabricated the plates, pillars, and most of the train (i.e. mainspring barrel, fusee/maintaining power assembly, link centre, third and fourth wheels). I would machine a part and then, every week or two, drive up to Riversdale for it to link be inspected. George was certainly very encouraging and I felt a need link to do my best. I didn't want to let him or myself down.
āThey would consider it rude to tell you something that you might have already thought of yourself,ā Sandra said.The train back to the hotel had black link seats with primary-colored dots and was clean and on time. Just about everyone wore masks here; maybe one person in 20 did not. I took a hot bath in my deep spotless tub and fell asleep under a pile of blankets breathing in the cool stream link of air from the link open window.
The Longines came to me as an object ($285, plus sales tax) but it was quickly becoming a link thing. A 10k white gold-filled Velveteen Rabbit. When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote link āthere are no second acts in American livesā he certainly wasnāt thinking about vintage watches. Still on the plane, I thought about a boy I loved in childhood link who later became a professional pilot. Every time I passed through that stale tube over the tarmac I looked for his face in the threshold of the cockpit.
Well you may feel yucky but you look like a movie starāKeep rocking itā„ļøā„ļø
You rocked cardiac rehab ! You are doing EVERYTHING to get better ā¤ļøāš©¹ and I love you š
