Day 8

So far it is a good day. Chris had a bit of pain this morning but it
is better now with some drugs and lidocaine patches. Solid foods start
tomorrow so only one more day of brown water and jello. Walks getting
longer and brisker. Thank goodness for the World Cup to entertain him
during the day. I doubt even post-transplant recovery could get him to
watch Soaps and Oprah Winfrey. In preparation for discharge I
attended a transplant support group lecture on medications this
afternoon. Yes, chris does not get out of taking drugs, just into
taking a new regimen of drugs to fight rejection. Shelley Merritt,
old-time friend who now lives in Philly and works a few blocks away
from HUP, came for a short visit--his first non-family visitor. A good
day.
