Good Week
Dave seems to be doing a bit better, although a slow process. He is getting up each morning and having coffee with the guys, then spends a short time at the firehall before coming home. He's eating well and feeling pretty good besides the fatigue and weakness. He will start physical therapy on Monday to build up his leg strength. He has fallen a few times by just over-doing, but I think he finally realized what he can and can't do. He has asked, D.J., to stay with us for awhile and help out and be around just in case he does fall again and can't get himself up. We aren't planning on that happening, but one never knows. This weekend we have been able to care for our grandson, Sully, who is 6 months old. Boy are we enjoying that; he's a real sweetie with lots of personality. The fall weather is beautiful and tomorrow should be a nice day too. D.J. plans on trimming the hedge and I think I'll rake a bit. I'm sure the "chief" will be telling us what we are to do, so I guess I'll just roll with it!!

Sounds like Dave's social life is going well! Our fall weather has been beautiful hasn't it? Went out to Tally Lake today and took a long walk, what great weather we had. Take care and will talk to you soon...Toni

The fatigue and weakness are a pain in the butt, but a small price to pay for the ultimate result. Tell Dave to take it slow and accept where he is at. I thought my recovery would go much faster but I still have fatigue, nap almost every day and my stamina is still down form pre transplant. They say it takes a year to fully recover. I guess they know what they are talking about. Glad to hear all is going well. Enjoy the fall. GlenH
