Hair loss after transplant, probably Tacrolimus: Anyone change meds?

@scottij, I am especially happy that you were able to enjoy your daughters wedding! Our son was married 4 months after my transplant in 2009. I didn't have the Covid precautions to contend with, but I do remember how concerned my son and bride were about me and the food preps. Due to my pre transplant conditions, I was skin and bones, and very weak. My transplant team okayed moving my 4 month post transplant visit to 5 months because of the wedding.
Scott, What are you doing to rack up an average of 40,000 steps per day?

I don't really shoot for 40,000 but that is generally where I am ending up. Typically, I rise early because I still hear my Dad's voice in my head saying, "Get your a** up and get busy." We have converted a third stand-alone garage into a home gym with a variety of equipment. I spend the first two hours of the day doing crunches, full sit-ups, weights, stretches/yoga and hip exercises (hip replacement scheduled at Mayo on 11 April), Then She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed; a.k.a. Vicki, and I go on a long walk usually between 10,000 and 12,000 steps. On return from the walk I complete a variety of outdoor activities (watering flowers, cleaning the pool; etc) which adds about 2000 steps. After Vicki finishes with the elliptical trainer in our gym I put 50 minutes/5000 steps on that. After dinner we talk another gentle stroll. Two days a week we do not do the elliptical and so I like to hike in the Tortolita Mountains, really just small pointy hills, to get some good vertical in.
While it hurts a bit I find that not moving enough hurts my hips even more. On the recent wedding weekend I was out of my routine and averaged only about 10,000 steps a day. Those days hurt a lot.
Best always,
s!
