Day 118

     Finally, I think I'm turning the corner. It has been 3 good days. Energy level is getting better, the right side is responding better and getting stronger. I've reached, and sometimes exceeded, my weight goal of 175 lbs. Now I see light at the end of the tunnel. It's been a long time coming.
    We had a great weekend in Orlando with my sister and her husband, Thanks. Stayed at the hotel all weekend and rested poolside, etc. I even got permission to go swimming from the doctor. They had a lazy river that I help live up to it's name. We ate a lot! It was grand opening of Harry Potter at Universal, so Orlando and the hotel was very crowded.
    Before I left Friday, I went to have lab work done at the hospital and true to form had meds changed again. Because of the antibiotics for the fungus my Prograf (anti-rejection medicine) level was sky high, so I was told to stop taking the Prograf for 2 days and come in for lab work on Monday. Well Monday's results were high still, so I was to stop taking Prograf for another 2 days and then begin 1mg per day. That's down from 8mg or 8 pills per day. The Prograf make you real jittery and causes tremors and you get lightheaded. Back for labs on Monday.
     It's hot, mid 90's, but no oil on the beaches. We are maintaining.
Thanks for listening.
