Praise the Lord, back to 0 so no rejection! All of his lab numbers look good except they tested for the wrong medication. Instead of testing for Prograf they tested for Cyclosporine. So tomorrow he has to have labs done before rehab.

I don't know if I mentioned it or not but Bill hit his elbow on the bathroom door at the hotel the other night and has a nasty looking skin tear. I bandaged it and Stephanie looked at it yesterday. She covered it with a clear patch that is medicated and wrapped it in gauze. I needed to change the gauze tonight and the patch also came off so I had to put another one on. I think this stuff grows new skin while protecting the open wound.

There's another man in the complex who has had a stroke. We see him a lot when we're getting the mail. He's still in a wheelchair and has a lot of difficulty with speech but is clear enough most of the time. He has watched Bill's progress from the LVAD through the walker stage to today. When we saw him this afternoon he told Bill that he is an inspiration to him. Could be another reason God decided that Bill needed to have the problems he has.

Bill is more aware of his limitations each day and sometimes it really bothers him. He realizes he's still weaker than he should be and he said that he can't think clearly half of the time. So, I'm watching for any signs of depression again. So far there are none and since he realizes his problems it may help when we talk about it.

Today was laundry day and we are both pooped! I fixed a horrible dinner so we may have to have a late night snack! It was just one of those nights that things didn't turn out right. We've also lost our local cable channels and Comcast doesn't have them fixed yet so that throws things off. You can tell we are in a real rut when we watch certain programs at certain times every day!

The weather was lovely today. Got down to 59 last night and I've had the door opened most of the day. There had been a nice breeze but it has stopped now. Supposed to be nice again tomorrow too.

All for tonight. I'll let you know about the tests tomorrow.
