day 572 after transplant

 

HAPPY EASTER AND WELCOME SPRING!

This has been an interesting week!

Monday I had a dentist appointment(just for a check up and cleaning). I had to take an antibiotic Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I got a good check up with no cavities. Tuesday morning at 3:30 am I started throwing up! I couldn’t even keep water down. I called MCV and they felt that it was a reaction to the antibiotic, but it could be the stomach bug. Then I started with diarrhea! I didn’t do much other than run to the bathroom.

Thursday I called MCV again and they really wanted me to come down but said that they would agree to me getting a stool culture at the local hospital. I went to the outpatient department at our local hospital and I couldn’t give them a sample! They gave me a kit and specific instructions to take home. Finally that evening I had a sample so off to the hospital we went. I would not know any results until Friday afternoon but the final results would not come back until Monday!

Friday I took Rodney’s mother to UVA the eye doctor. We were in hope that she would be able to get her stitch taken out but the doctor said that she was not quite ready so we go back next Thursday. This has been a very slow process but hopefully she will soon be able to get some site back in her left eye.

We left Friday afternoon for NC for the weekend. I got a call from the doctor that all the tests were negative, so I guess it was the antibiotic. We had a great week end with the kids. Saturday we went to see the Duke Gardens and the Duke Chapel. It was a beautiful weekend and so nice to get away for a little while. Today we went to St. Mark’s for church and as always it was a wonderful and very meaningful service. Got home early evening and are now getting ready for another busy week.

The final NCAA basketball game is tomorrow night and everyone remember to cheer for BUTLER!!!!!  This is their first time to the championship so let’s support the underdogs, also because they are the team that I got in our local radio station basketball pool!

Have a wonderful and safe week and I will write more next week.

Love,

Gloria
