I can walk now, no assistance. Down 56 steps and back up. Not our of breath. Can even get into my clawfoot tub and out now but myself. Just got back from another check up. Meld went up to 7. I guess that's not too bad. Dr worried about muscle loss and wanted me put on an NG tube immediately. I cried. She wrote inn her notes that I declined the NG tube and that would affect my efforts to get on a transplant list. I didn't decline. Just cried. Got that straightened out with the diatitian the next day. She just told me how many calories and how much protein I should eat a day to reach the goal. Did not recommend NG tube at this time. It was kind of funny, because she is about the same height as me and weighed 3 pounds more than I do. Very thin. So, since yesterday I've been trying to pack on the pounds! Ate over the amount of calories and reached and exceeded the protein goal.

Oh, about the exercise. I'm riding a stationary bike. Can only go for 0.5 miles now, but will work my way up. I can walk quite a distance, but haven't measured that yet. I think going up and down stairs is good exercise too.
