(Day +62), Monday, (July 12th) has been another great day. I had an appointment at clinic this morning at 10 a.m. just to get some labs drawn and meet with Dina, a nurse practitioner. Afterwards we came back to the house and ate lunch outside because the weather was so beautiful. I spent the afternoon napping and catching up on emails and blogging. It was a nice, low-key day. I didn’t get any transfusions today, which was great. We also ate dinner at the house and then I skyped with my dad and siblings. I haven’t seen them in about a month so it was nice to talk to them. THey’re coming up this weekend for their monthly visit. I’m excited to see my brothers. Both of them have birthdays coming up so we plan to celebrate their birthdays while they’re here. I’m feeling so much better. I have more energy and I’m napping less. I’ve even been walking to my appointments. It’s not very far from the house but it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk there. It hurt to walk that far at first but every day it’s getting easier. I’m not having any pain except for my legs/feet. I’m still about 15 pounds heavier than my normal weight. Now that I’m out of the hospital I should drop the weight pretty fast because I’m not having fluids pumped into me 24/7. Right now my feet are so swollen that I can’t even wear real shoes. I have to wear slippers everywhere. Hopefully the swelling will go down soon. Other that that, all is good.
