How time flies!

So...I got a little behind on my updating I see.  :)  Everything is going extremely well still.  I only have about 4 or 5 pulmo rehab visits remaining.  I am now up to one mile on the treadmill, a separate 20 minute walk, the third level of difficulty on the arm bike and the regular bike.  I am using the giant exercise ball to make my leg exercises more difficult.  Gotta work that core!  ROFL  Keeping your balance is really difficult sometimes when your mind starts to wander.  :P  I rode 3.48 miles on the bike today.  I still haven't gotten to jog at home yet, but I have jogged three times at rehab.  I might just wait to jog at home until I am finished with rehab because I want to skip days in between.  If I jog at home on my days off from rehab, I will be doing everything on back to back days.  Bear ran 1.5 miles in athletics the other day without stopping!  I am very proud of him.  Now he can't tell me that he can't jog with me. LOL  I am actually getting to do some school pick-up/drop-off now, and it is just like old times.   Really, really old times.  :)  The cats have finally figured out where I am!  Much to Kal's and Grammy's dismay.  LOL  Since Kal and I are finally sleeping in the same room again after over three months, the cats are now rooming with Bunny the Tormentor.  We started letting the cats visit occasionally, and they really liked getting to be in Mommy's room again.  It started with just a few minutes.  Then a couple of hours....Then all day....  THEN the trouble started.  Misha decided that bellowing at the Bunny's bedroom door would force someone to bring her to Mommy.  Okay, at first it was really cute.  Bunny started getting annoyed however, and eventually she started kicking MIsha out every time she started meowing.  The estrangement would only last about 15 minutes before Bunny would come back asking if I wanted her to take Misha back with her.  I would say no since she had barely been in my room, but then Bunny would start arguing with me.  I would cave in and then Bunny would leave with the cat.  SLAM!!!  The door would fly open, and I would hear, "I can't take it anymore!  Misha won't stop howling!"  ROFL  This cycle still repeats itself several times a day.  :P  Goblin was longer in coming into the bedroom.  She is my sweet baby, and I am sure that she has arthritis in her back legs.  I didn't want her to have to get carried back and forth because I think it is uncomfortable for her.  Well, she wasn't having that!  Eventually she started following Misha out of the door.  Sammo figured out where the party was also, and now the cat train is continually going back and forth from their room to my room.  The biggest problem is that they are afraid they are going to get stuck in there, so they eat and potty as fast as they can and want right back with me.  Misha will claw at the carpet or the door, and Grammy HATES that.  :)  Sammo has learned how to thump the door stopper on the back of the door, so you hear, "BOING, BOING, BOING," until you let him out.  Goblin is pretty laid back though and lets the other two do the dirty work so that she doesn't get in trouble. LOL  Of course she will roam occasionally, and Grammy noticed her coming OUT of the back bathroom.  The funny thing was that she didn't notice Goblin going past her to get there!  LOL  I am back to having my babies sleeping with me, so I seem to be the doorkeeper during the middle of the night for the potty breaks.  Oh well, it could be worse.  At least I am not near the dirtbox, and I get to see my little furry babies.  :)  Tomorrow I have another bronch to see how the rejection situation has resolved.  I am really feeling great, and my blood pressure is much lower since I have changed to Prograf.  My main problem now is the weight.  I really need to figure out a plan to lose some of this extra weight.  I never thought I would have that problem post transplant, but I guess that I am one of the unlucky ones.  I have told Kal that I am going to stick him on the Nutrisystem for Men - Diabetic diet plan, and I want to try it myself. LOL  Maybe I will follow my own Weight Watchers version like Tinkerbella did.  I still have the sites bookmarked I think.    I am on day 107 post transplant now!  I am still amazed. :D

BTW, Bunny has started her first basketball season, and I got to attend the first game.  They won!  Go Shark Shooters!  Go #10!

Wow. It is truly amazing that you are day 107 post-transplant!!! I love the reports of your rehab progress. Go girl!!!!
I am with Grammy on the cat issue, but I assume you are not surprised by that admission. I want you to love on them in areas of the house OTHER than where you sleep.
Love, IthinkGrammyisrightpleaserethinkthecatsituation

I am so happy for you! It is hard to believe it is already 104 days post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are ahead of me with your exercise program. I've been doing a couple of miles every other day on the eliptical. I thought as I sat eating my El Chico lunch special today that my food choice is part of my problem with losing the weight! No LOL It was a yummy lunch though!
