a hop and a skip, a run and a breath

Lindsay is in step down now and making her self quite cosy. She has 3 personal massage therapists 
I think I owe my dad about a million and one feet massages after I got my transplant, and I can see Lindsay is going to be in the same debt of gratitude as well. Lindsay's legs are cramping up from all the water retention and laying around in bed. She is up to TWO walks a day. Walk walk walk walk that's the only way you get outta there! 
She's eating the ward out of popsicles, and is off the liquid diet. Food never tasted so good to her. Bagel with cream cheese. Lindsay's electrolytes still continue to be wonky the last couple of days....but I think that's probably very common from the stress of the surgery and someone else's lungs in you...mine were out of whack for a whole year. Hopefully they won't have to give her a blood transfusion. She is loving the lasiks still as it makes her chest feel a TON better helping to drain the extra fluid rattling around and filling up her new lungs. She is starting to experience a bit more pain, and is kind of nervous about giving up her self dosing morphine pump....the only good thing I keep telling Lindsay about giving up that pump, that crutch...it means she can get moved down to the ward....and then, it's home time, just a hop and a skip, a run and a breath away. 

Lindsay is very, very lucky to have such a supportive and amazing family by her side each day, She is extremely lucky to have people flighting with her every hour of the day, every step of the way. Thank you Lindsay's family for taking such good care of her.
