    Pain meds sometimes cause nausea or just take away your desire to eat. I know they have to wean you off the meds, but I never understood why it had to coincide with onset of physical activity. I hope they aren't pushing them along too quickly, as hospitals can do. [-X

    Yeah I've heard this before too, I have a friend on cellcept , it got better after her body adapted to the meds and am sure Hannah will be better soon.Sending positive Chi and praying for a speedy recovery! [-O<

    Let's remember it's only been about 50-60 hours since the surgery; so I'm going to take a breath and just let the healing take its course. Hannah is going through some real discomfort right now, but the bigger picture is her body's acceptance of the kidney (easy for me to say). I don't know how long these things take, so I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and send that positive energy out west. Sounds like Michelle is doing pretty well, considering. Thank goodness. :)>-

    Dearest Tribe, thanks so much for keeping up. It's been one helluva long week so far. It's 10pm and I'm going to get to bed early tonight. Still staying at Hannah's bedside.
    So...
    I mentioned somewhere or to someone the roller coaster and the early reactions of this week. I need instant replay to review this shit.

    Michelle was indeed a superwoman in every possible way. What looked like a superb recovery was just one of the roller coaster rides they went on. She is doing GREAT, it just kind of ebbed and flowed a few times. They mentioned it would... I wouldn't say she has had any setbacks, just the activities and transitions on Meds made for some episodes that made it appear as such. Her pain got worse, she was tired as could be.

    I think she will be released tomorrow and we will get her down to the Ronald Mac House and I'll stay up her with Hannah.

    Hannah has had a long day today. She tried to walk this morning but it hurt way too much. They switched to oral pain killers and they knocked her out. Slept through the days activities (which didn't sound all that fun anyway) Basically slept from noon to 4, I woke her up to walk and she made a long walk through the unit, came back ate a cheese quesadilla, pudding, strawberries and some soy milk, had more drugs and was asleep by 5:30. She is still pretty much out of it now at 10:30. So tomorrow we start over on less pain Meds. Very busy day tomorrow.
    Got to get Michelle discharged, my sister to the airport, and more post transplant education in addition to all the doctors and exercises for Hannah.
    So goodnight.

    Just caught up on the entire thread...what a serious rollercoaster for your family Dave. Glad to hear the procedure went well. Hope for a quick recovery for both Hannah and Michelle. You've all exhibited great strength through this, my best to all of you.

    Here's to a wolf around the floor and some ice cream. And if not, and it's sleep and cheese quesadillas in bed so be it. The positive thing is that Hannah is in great hands and dad seems to be doing okay himself. Great news!

    Remind me to tell you the Ronald McDonald House story I have from a personal experience. Best if it's told over a beer as I have to do accents.

    Peace, love and positive Chi swirling out your way!
