First day home

Wow.  More than 24 hours has passed since I brought Shirley home.  It is going to be quite an adjustment for all of us, as we now are back into the mode of being responsible for taking medications, tracking vital signs and all the normal things people do at home.

We had a nice dinner with Pete, Caroline and Francis on their front porch last night.  Tonight, Shirley was really craving Halibut and Chips, so we went to an old seafood joint on Alki Beach.  Shirley and I then did a little shopping.  Walking around a Target store is great exercise for her:  Retail Therapy = Physical Therapy.

Tomorrow, we go back to the hospital for a blood draw for them to check Shirley's levels for both one of her anti-rejection and anti-coagulation drugs. These will be done weekly for awhile until her new normal routine for exercise and eating stabilizes.
