FATHER TROY'S POST TRANSPLANT JOURNAL DAY 6...AND CONVALESCING WELL.........

It was another early morning as my first post transplant and early release from the hospital, regular follow-up visit to the Mayo Clinic Hospittal Speciality Building was at 7 a.m., with a fasting lab and medications review. Back at the hotel since 9:15 a.m., we will return to Mayo for a set of appointments at 3 p.m. Lab results and a meeting with the senior doctor on my Transplant Team Dr. Raymond Heilman, are scheduled. A hamburger with FRENCH FRIES ! for lunch from Carlos O'Brien's, led to a restful afternoon nap before returning to the Mayo SpecialityBldg. for my Lab results from this morning, which Dr. Heilman reported were very good. The only weak one, my Phosphorous count, which was 1.6, and should be 2.5 or better. DAIRY PRODUCTS. MORE MILK, YOGURT, CHEESE, ICE CREAM, are in order...YUMMY. I love all of them and have missed them greatly. We bought a half gallon of Neapolitan on the way home and I ate some immediately on arriving back at the hotel. I have invited Victor & Tammy over for a farewell ice cream party later...Tomorrow we move to our vacation guest house at 2610 TRAPONOTTO ROAD, Phoenix, Arizona 85086.........Fr.Troy
