Hello to my faithful blog readers. I am so sorry for not updating sooner. It has been 11 days since the Transplant, and things are going as planned. I got moved into the Transplant House on Sunday the 6th, with the help of my best friends the Fanta's. They came up on the 4th and spent the night in Rochester and then came to visit me Saturday and then helped me move Sunday. Jin-nee came and stayed with me the first night and then my lovely personal Nurse Ellen stayed with me after that. Ellen stayed with me from Monday to Tuesday and worked on her scrap books,she was very excited at the fact that she got to spend a whole day and part of a night working on them. And now my dear sister Amy is here with me till tommorow and then Katie come for the rest of the week. So here is a big THANK YOU to all of them for coming to take care of me. I didn't have to see any of the Doctors today, but tommorow I will see the Liver Doctor and my Coordinator. Please pray that the fluid in the tummy will start to go down. I now have more sympathy for pregnant women, I feel at least 9 months along. So I am going to talk to them tommorow about if there is something I can take to help it along. This Transplant is definately harder than the first, I did't take on any fluid at all the first time and this time I have mine and some of my neighbors to. But I am praying for tommorow to see what they can do. I am also giving myself insulin shots and checking my blood sugar on a daily basis. The med that they have me on has kind of put me as a diabetic for a little bit. But they think that as they get me off that med it should get better and then I won't have to do that anymore. But for now I will have to do that. I have some photos, but are not yet on the computer, I will post those as soon as I get them done. I thank you all for the prayers and suppport through this Transplant. I send out big hugs to you all. Love always, Jmee
