Hi dear friends,I'm sitting on the bed

in my stepdown room on my son'scomputer. I can't believe my transplant was only this last Thursday - and on my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! I'll check inwith you, then you can read a site my son set up thisafternoon to update people, and I think there are a fewphotos and an address. I'm probably just restating stuff he's already written, but oh, well. My kids have been truly amazing. I'm off all oxygen now, saturating at about 94%. Mythoracotomy incision hurts like hell - it's huge, but I knew itIwould be. Unfortunately, pain meds aren't very successfulon me, but I'm sure I'll feel a bit better every day. Hope so!When I got the call, Kate was home (she'd driven home formy birthday the next day) and we were about to watch a movie when the phone rang at 9:45. I became sort of a mess of excitement and emotion as you can imagine, and so of course my sats dropped, but I kept it together pretty well, I think. My transplant team here is absolutely wonderful - ALLso good but also so caring and compassionate. My surgeryThursday lasted only about 2.5 hours - single lung, type O.They said it couldn't have been a better match for me. I sawan x-ray of it yesterday - such a shock and thrill to see all that big black area instead of puny white. I was off the vent in about 5 hours, I think. Friday I spentmost of the afternoon in a chair in my ICU

room, thenyesterday I was moved to a room on another floor..They take EARLY morning x-rays - ouch; then usually see several doctors and/or teams of docs and an r.t.;take a nebulizer antibiotic. And of course they're always taking your vitals. Tonight I was at 99.3 so we'll be watching that. My b.p. is a little elevated due to themeds. I'm on 150mg twice daily of Prednisone, butso far am not crazy. I'm really not on any more meds than I was before, just different. I'm on Narco and Lubain for pain and itching. I haven't gotten much sleep due to those pesky critters. This afternoon I walked about250' down the hall, and took my first shower. I look

likeI belong to a prison gang, with all the tattoe-like bruisesup and down my arms. I don't cough a lot, but they wantyou to cough some - again, ouch!By the way, Misha's in good hands. You heard that shegot a good doc report. :-) She's staying with the super woman who walks her every day - they're big buds.To see my family's faces after surgery was something I'll never ever forget. Then last night in the wee hours God and I had a long talk about my young donor, and I'm totally at peace. I'm very, very grateful for this miraculous gift. The kids have found several prospects for apartmentsfor me to rent for the next 2-3 months. ..which means I'llbe here when you guys come to San ! I

may beout of the Big House as early as sometime this week - UNREAL - but we'll see how things progress.Got to get off and do my spirometry thingy and rest, but I wanted to tell you guys how well things have beengoing so far.

Hello

I have not had a computer for a few days and just got it back and read the fantastic news about Gwynne. I just sat here and cried when I read it. I am so glad for her. I wish we could all be able to take a deep breath but we will be thankful for her breaths. She is a strong woman and a God Fearing woman and I just know that He will see her through all of this. I guess it is too late to get my signature on the card Peggy, so I am just sending my own and a surprise for her. Such great news!!!
