Out of the question...you are not allowed to be sick! I dont know how these things go but how long afer transplant do you worry about rejection? Curl up and snooze...drink lots of fluids and take what ever mefs you have been instructed. Of course its Saturday...just to make us worry a little more...lol
I go to the local cardio Dr. On Monday to see what he thinks. I had an ultra sound and bloodwork and will discuss all that with my PCP Tues. Have a 2 day appt with Mayo in Jax on the 16th. Thats a 4 hour trip but always well worth it
The good news is..my faughter Emily is coming to FL to visit next Sunday.
We will be doing some serious boating and beaching!
Please keep us posted...Im sending uou virtual hugs, prayers and chicken soup!

@jeanne5009 I was caught up by your question "how long after transplant do you worry about rejection?" For me I don't think it will ever leave my mind. This foreign organ is a lifeline for me that, if severed, will throw me back into a world of chaos and turmoil that I never want to see again. That may sound ominous and dramatic, but for me (8 years out) rejection symptoms it is on the daily checklist.

@jeanne5009, I followed your orders😊 and am feeling like myself again.
I hope that you get some answers about all of this. At least the ultrasound is an easy procedure. Let me know if the cardio doc takes as much blood as the liver docs. I will be thinking of you for that 4hr drive, hopefully nice weather. I will think of you on the 16th and pray for a good report in JAX.
Enjoy the time with your daughter! Sounds like fun plans.
I look forward to hearing about your medical report, and about your boating adventure !
