@tbirdmunchkin Hi Glinda, I was wondering how your doing, I was just reviewing some of the fine folks Ive run into here on connect, I'm now over 2 years post transplant and doing well. How about you? Has this newest virus got you homebound like the rest of us?

Have a Blessed Day
Dana

Hi@danab,
I'm actually doing good staying safe and well here in Eau Claire WI. It's still been a slow recovery from the accident 2 years ago as I have muscle atrophy from the accident and not being able to move because of it for a long time but I'm slowly improving I walk still with the cane and will have to have it probably the rest of my life just in case I need it so will keep with me wherever I go my health has been good just mild to moderate asthma acting up as always I keep on close contact with my transplant team and coordinator when needed I did pass my nine years post heart transplant exam this January but I did find out that I have to have another right heart cath and angiogram next year as they doing some moderate blockage in 2 on my main arteries and a couple small lesions on my heart but they aren't worried about it the it's just being cautious hence the right heart cath and angiogram again next year otherwise I'm good staying safe I never go out without my mask or without hand sanitizer it's still hard to believe I am 9 years post heart transplant I still feel like it was yesterday hope all is safe and well with you and will try to be on here more often since I am unable to do appointments right now I work on cardio when able to with certain exercises as well as using the treadmill at the YMCA which is closed right now so have to do some therapy at home for cardio with bands and weights when my body allows me to but I am well and safe and following our safer - at - home rules except for having to get essentials like food and stuff even my roommate/caregiver is using a mask and hand sanitizer when we go out so I am always safe.
Please stay safe and well yourself.will keep everyone updated on how I'm doing here also. I know it's been a while since I was on here but have tried to keep up with everyone here also. I'm trying to stay busy with being homebound we are allowed to go out and walk but now with the snow we got again for me it's a risk to fall so have to wait. It's okay though with me waiting to walk outside again spring will come and stay soon 😊
Thank you for asking about me and sorry I haven't checked in lately have more time now with quarintine so am able to get on mayo connect
Thanks Glinda

And everyone here on mayo connect please stay safe and well I'm praying for you all to be well and safe
