Hello Blog readers, I am on week 5 post transplant. I have done great so far. Labs are looking great. But we do have some issues still. I have been having a problem with head aches wich are caused by my anit-rejection med, and I have the choice if taking my pain pill or taking a tylenol, but I can't take both. So I get to choose which pain is the worst. And at this point we are dealing with the pain of bones and back too. Then we have the incision that has not healed all the way yet. And I think I am going to have to go in and have that checked out, just to be on the safe side so that it does not get infected. There is still drainage and that is why I need to be on the safe side of things. So I ask that you pray for the head, bone and back aches and also for the drainage. The first transplant I only had one spot a problem and now I have three, so it is getting kind of annoying at times. So I may have to go to Mayo next week not sure yet, I am hoping that they will let me see a Doctor here, and then they can call up there and tell them what they think. I am looking forward to May 10th, my first day of driving. It kind of makes me nervious, but my best friend said that he would drive with me till I am comfortable with the car again. It is a 5 speed, so if it was an automatic, I would have no problem at all. But I will just have him drive with me to be on the safe side. I thank you all for your daily prayers for me. I can't tell you how blessed I am to have my own prayer team. I am a lucky and blessed Girl. Love ya lots, Jmee
