One Month

It has already been one month since my transplant.  I had appointments at CHOP yesterday – an echo, an EKG, and a cardiology appointment.  The guy who did my echo was originally from Wisconsin and was very chatty.  It makes echos seem so much shorter when I have someone to talk to.  My cardiologist is still amazed at how well my recovery is going.  Everything with my heart still looks great and there are no signs of rejection.  They actually bumped me to every two weeks for appointments for now.  I’m so glad that we won’t have to make the trip to Philly as often.  I got to wear the shirt that my Aunt Theresa made for me.  Everybody that saw it loved it, and so do I!  Thanks, Aunt Theresa!
