Note from Stacey

Denise, thanks for your messages. I will be looking forward to your call. You can also try reaching me on my cell phone. No, dog in the picture is not Rupie, Rupie is much cuter! Julie, great to hear that the kids are doing so well in climbing! They must be training hard with their new coach. Lab tests came back, and I am completely over all the CMV, flu, and pneumonia viruses. I am still battling fatigue, but have started climbing stairs again for exercise. I even knock on the doors of other transplant patients and get them to do the flights with me! The doctors recommend at least an hour of exercise per day. This is a lot of activity, for I am still in the stage that cooking, cleaning, and shopping for myself and Dave are major challenges. But it is a good idea to go out and get fresh air on walks anyway. Yesterday, I climbed over the equivalent of one trip up and down the stadium, so I will probably start going to the stadium with Ana, Isa, and Dave pretty soon. I hear that Isa’s dog, Rupie, has started training, too. She can do eight trips! I cannot let Rupie get the better of me for long. Stacey, from H.O.M.E. apartments
