Connie's Post Transplant Blog

So happy to hear from you, keep us updated! My prayers are with you in your recovery.

Thanks, Peter. Lanie, I have more reading material than I can ever get to, as well as crossword books! But they want me to be active. Since I live alone and haven't had a caregiver for over 3 weeks, I'm moving a lot, just out of necessity.

I did get a call back from the TPC just now. She said the numbers were all slightly up this morning, but since the same thing happened last Tues., she's not concerned. She didn't have my Prograf level yet, but will call me back if there's any change in that, necessitating changing the dose. Otherwise, she wants me to keep the diuretics and other meds the same; didn't seem concerned about the draining wounds or weakness....said it takes time.

Hugs,
Connie

P.S. Got another call from the TPC. She said my Prograf level is high, so to decrease pills from 4 mg twice a day to 3 mg. I'm happy about that, as I think some of the side effects I'm having are coming from Prograf. Also, I am to D/C the Aldactone, but continue with the Lasix at 40 mg in the a.m. I worry about my potassium levels w/o the Aldactone, but she said they will keep an eye on it. My platelets are high, so there will be iron studies added to the blood work next week. Those are the only changes, at least for another week.

LOL, Lanie! That's just a very small portion of them!

Hugs,
Connie

Bumping for newbies. I am now 10 mos. out from TP.
