@becsbuddy Those of us on immunosuppressants really do need to be careful. I caught Legionairre's in December 2017 which made me very conscious of just how careful I need to be.
It is tough to accept the "new normal", and sometimes I feel like I have every problem possible and then I realize I am throwing myself a "pity party" and just get over it. Yep, I have some problems, but things could be so much worse. I am grateful for what I now have and what I am able to do. I exercise at my health club about 6 days a week, maintain our home and do all of the shopping and cooking, and help others in whatever ways I can, so I figure I am functioning awfully darned well.

@contentandwell Such great suggestions! I think my problem is I’m trying to go too fast. It’s taken me a year to get to the point where I can cook, some, and do lighter chores. Hopefully, I can start driving again soon, then I’m off to the gym! NEVER thought I’d find myself in this position of not being active and having to pace myself. 😞 But, you’re right, I have it so good compared to some. Thank you for your advice. Becky
