I'm Back!

Hello! Well, I must say, my absence for the last few days has been for good reason, because I have been feeling too good and been too busy to write. It has been a long time since I have been able to say that. My new medication is working, yeah, and I am feeling motivated and happy and energized! I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am. I missed my old self, I am usually so happy and upbeat, it was hard to be so down.

I have developed a cough this week that has me a little concerned, but I spoke with my transplant coordinator, and right now, we are just keeping an eye on it. She commented right away on the change in my mood. She was so glad my happy self was back, she had been worried, as had Dr. Pilewski.

We made reservations today to camp this weekend in Allegany State Park, so I am looking forward to that. We will bring our bikes, so that will be a new test to see how much stamina I have. It is hard to believe I am approaching my 6 month anniversary, where has the time gone?

I continue to feel greatly blessed each new day for the life I have been given. Would I be here today were it not for my heavenly Father and the gift of my donor? I am not sure. I certainly wouldn't be enjoying this new freedom of no longer being helpless and dependant. The power of prayer is truly amazing and if you ever need my prayers for you or your loved ones, please don't hesitate to ask.

Please do not worry if I do not write daily. As the nice weather has come, I have found more to keep me busy and less desire to sit at the computer. I promise I will update at least once a week, but don't worry about me, I am doing great and learning to enjoy my new life. Thank you for your continued support, I look forward to sharing the good times I will be having in the next few months with you. All my love! Nancy
