Well Picc insertion is set for 12:00 today. Going to do Tobra and Aztreonam again, same as a month ago, and stay on the oral Zyvox for the remaining 5 days. I got my last good night of sleep and full shower in for the next few weeks. I do look forward to starting to feel better and hopefully for longer this time. As many have noted the main thing now is to try and stay in as good a shape as I can for as long as I have to wait. Better to be in my best possible shape prior to transplant.
On a positive note Jess is out of bed and walking post transplant...way to go Jess! Steph has her chest tubes and staples out now and is putting some serious miles on those new windbags...Way to go Steph too!!
My other transplant friend Piper is still hanging on and working it out while she waits, much like myself....Our time will come, no doubt!
Keep fighting Warrior!!!!! Still doing Columbia this week?
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott, Yes my apt is at 2:00 Friday with Columbia, can't miss a potential transplant clinic appointment they are tough

Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI'll mail them out this week...unless we get a magical call! ;)
Hey James, Thanks for the shout out. I hope you feel better soon. I was on IVs about every other 3 weeks for about a year before i got the transplant so I know what you are going through. I hope you get listed at Columbia and you get a call real soon. I feel for Piper! I don't know how she is staying so strong.
