Day 131

        I know, I'm tardy. Sorry to those of you that read this, and for those of you who don't, too bad. As you might be able to detect, I'm feeling very good. Every day does get better. Mowed the grass, edged and cleaned up all with one break today. That's a milestone! Sleep is much better also, however, I still wake every couple of hours to go to the bathroom. I believe that is because of the antibiotics, which I have 2 more months to take.
     Linda's brother Scott and his son Logan were in town for the long weekend. We had a great time. Restaurants, shopping and beach were the order of the weekend.
      I've got clinic on Monday, we'll see what the Doc says. Maybe he'll cut some of my meds. I'm ready to reduce the amount I take, but I'm not rushing things.
      Sometimes I am amazed at how lucky I am. I forget that someone thought enough of their fellow man to give up their precious organs so some others could extend their lives. Thank you to all of you that are donors and a special thanks to my donor. I am sure without this gift I would not be here. Those of you that are not donors, Think about it, you can find out more information at http://www.organdonor.gov/donor/index.htm
There is also an interesting video of a girl's journey to a 2008 double lung transplant and how she is now. I found it inspirational, but I have a different perspective. If you want to see it go to http://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site/view_shared?p=75e4469ba801914249b0af&skin_id=701&large
      Take care and love one another!
