Sept. 9th Status of Judy W at Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis

[Guest guest]

Thank you all again for your prayers and support. My WBC came back

up from 2.8 to 3.7; but the doctor's nurse practioner just visited

me and told me I would still get just 1/2 a dose today so hopefully

they then can give me a full dose on Wed. & Thur. Also, she said

the plan now is to get my dosage early enough on Thur. so I can go

home on Thur. afternoon. That will be day 10 here and going home

sure sounds good. My meal menu has gotten quite boring, but I've

learned what to order since I had 10 days here Aug 07 after my

transplant, 10 days in Nov. after my lung collapse and the rejection

still showed, and now 10 days more for the Grade 2 Rejection that

showed up. I even know my way around. I still ride my walker down

Professional Ave. which is a big long hallway. Sun. when Jeff came

over to see me and brought me a few things I requested we went down

to the gift shop and I bought a glass pumpkin which I will put an

electric (battery operated) tea light in it for my Haloween

decoration. Since I was going to be gone 7 days we went ahead and

had our driveways sealed & they did that last Wed. so that odor

should be gone by the time I get home.

Peggy or somebody would you please give me a phone call on my cell #

which is in the database and let me know about Joyce Dalton. I've

seen some of the messages but not sure what has happened or how she

is doing. I pray she will recover from whatever is attacking her

now. I can't stay on the computer very long as I need to go order

my lunch and get back to my room so as soon as I finish my lunch

they can hook up my Thymoglobulin iV (which takes 6 hours) and today

I hope to be able to take a nap. I didn't yesterday and thought

I'd get to sleep earlier at night, but didn't so only got 5 hours of

sleep last night. I had been getting 8 hours total even though I

get wakened up for various things. Somehow the way my meds are

listed some of the nurses were waking me at 2 a.m. to take my

Oxicodone and Xanas. Other nurse didn't do that if I was sound

asleep so I appreciated that. I don't usually take them at 2 a.m.

and sometimes don't even take them at 6 a.m.. But as most of you

probably know each nurse may deal with you differently. Still this

place is a wonderful hospital and a wonderful staff.

Please remember to fly your American Flag on Thur. 9/11.

Love and Aloha,

Judy W IPF 11/06 TX 8/22/07 rejection treatment Sept 07, Nov. 07 and

now.
