I didn't hear anything on the gastric emptying yet. It will be next week. I was hoping I would hear that I passed it and could enjoy some real food this weekend. Ah well, I will know for sure next week.
In other news, my FEV1, which is a measurment of lung function, was 83% today! I think I shared before that I get a little emotional when I see these numbers. Praise God!
I started at a new gym this week and that's going well so far. It's actually the Duke University Health Center. After they graduated me from pulmonary rehab a few weeks ago, I could only come work out late in the day and I had an IV, tube feeds and medications all that had to start at 5 p.m. and I wasn't home from rehab yet.
Speaking of IVs--I'm done with the IVs for the mycobacterium I had pre-transplant! It's so nice to not have to get up at 6 a.m. to do an IV. I had been doing that for 5 months total pre/post.
I have my 3 month testing and bronch on Tuesday. Prayers for no complications or rejection from the bronch and for good results, please and thanks!
Have a wonderful weekend :)
Love/Hugs
