We think we are now at a positive turning point - knock on wood. Ray's blood counts are looking very good now & his appetite is getting much better & his energy level is slowly rebounding & the various multiple rashes have calmed down considerably & he's not quite as cold all the time as he was. All positive changes!
Because of these positive turn arounds, we are slowly starting to get out & live life once more. We went to the movies & had lunch out one day. Went to an inside flea market & walked around one day, thinking this was good exercise. We also attended a Pot Luck dinner in our park. Yes, we still must be careful but not nearly as much as the past couple of months following the transplant.
The heat here in Florida is incredible. We try to take walks very early in the morning before the sun gets too high in the sky. Ray isn't suppose to expose himself to much sun & needs to apply lots of sunscreen before going out. We often take walks inside the hospital's long halls when we're done with his appointments.
Ray is trying to do more exercise to get his strength back. Although he didn't lose much weight through it all, he did lose a lot of muscle & stamina. He certainly feels a lot of tiredness at times if he over exerts himself. But overall, he's doing very well right now. Praying that continues...
