Still getting the hang of it

Ok, So my pictures are a little huge! I will try to make them smaller next time.

LEGOS

My grandson came to visit today. He loves to play Legos. That is the second thing he asks to play, after baseball. The one picture of us palying Legos, is before my transplant( Jonathan has longer hair, and I have an oxygen tube). After the transplant, I didn't need any support pillows, or the oxygen tube. It feels so good to be able to get down on the floor(and up again for that matter) to play with Jonathan. We also went shopping at Wal Mart today. It feels great to be able to walk without loosing my breath, it feels like such a long time since I have been able to do that.

Hey, I figured it out, This is taken after I got home. My staples are all out now, but the 4 places where the chest tubes were still are healling. Very amazing isn't it.

SIX WEEKS POST TRANSPLANT 9/5/08

I am new to this blogging thing, so bear with me as I learn. I just thought it would be nice to update people in a more up to date method other than my rotary phone. Well, it has been six weeks since my transplant and my recovery is going very well. I have had some small procedures done as an out patient, but no admissions to the hospital. I started pulmonary rehab last week, and even though I am out of shape, I am looking forward to getting into shape. I am not able to drive yet, but am very fortunate that my wife can take time off from work to take me to the clinics and to rehab (which is usually 2-3 times per week). The transplant center at The Heart and Lung Institute at St. Joseph's is very wonderful at working around my wife's work schedule with my appointments. If I can figure out how to add photos, I have one of my surgical area that just amazes me. Well, More later. Thank you everyone for your prayers, words of encouragement. They have all meant so much to me.
