Hi All
A big thanks to Matt for keeping everyone posted as I have not been on the
computer that much of late.
Well it's been a month since I had the transplant and so far all is going
great. Still have trouble sleeping all night due to the pain when I turnover
and the drugs. Put all in all I do feel 100% better then I have in years.
Still have not been able to go back to work and it does not look like it
will be that soon as I have to drive to the hospital 2-3 times each week for
blood tests and to see the doc's for 4 more months at least. That on top of only
being able to work part time for the last year makes thing tight but will get
by some how always have. The real pits is not being able to drive for the
last year and can't until they take me off on some of the drugs.
Was hoping to make the performance workshop but Doc says no so that's out
but am shooting for the hot laps at Willow at the convention , my doc says
that might happen all depends on how I heal, so far so good.
In fact I'm known at the hospital as the surprise kid. I was not on the
transplant list at the time but had been on it before, but with my blood type
(AB-) went one came up in California (out of our area) I guess I was the only
one on the west coast that had that blood type and had spent time on the
list. So I got the call.
Spent 11 days in the hospital 8 of which were in ICU then walked out on
Christmas day which no one had planed on. as most are there from 2 to 4 weeks.
Plus the anti rejection drugs can cause diabetes so have to check my sugar
level 5 times a day and take insulin shots. So far I have only needed one or
two units at most ,but most of the time need none.
And a thanks to Ken Of the original group Ken for the plug on my doing
trophies and model railroad (architectural models)in my spare time. So if you or
your club needs trophies or plaques let me know I'm always ready to help my
fellow Vair owners.
thanks
