The telegraph is slow in Durham. Laura has escaped! Literally walked out of the hospital. She did walk out of the hospital but the escape was approved. After a very long day, Laura was discharged on Monday night.
They allowed her to walk out not from a wheelchair, but from her room. Amazing!
Today was a day to begin recovery. A real night's sleep. No interruptions, beeps, blood draws, or other inconveniences. A shower. BOOM!
The movement throughout the day should help the kidneys kick in and the edema dissipate.
Rehab starts tomorrow. Given the 1.5 miles a day pace, we expect the focus to be more on strengthening than cardio.
A new chapter begins. A huge thank you to TEAM Z, this was much different than the previous two transplants. It was more difficult and took more time. The support of the community really made a difference. Thank you so much.
More to come as we begin rehab.
