Plans on eating 5 pounds of snow crab legs.

Most likely she is being being discharged next week and will attend rehab for a month to get her strength up. She is presently walking 2-3 times a day walking a 1/2 mile each walk. She doing well and is on her phone a lot more. Phone conversations were 2-3 minutes right after transplant on May 7 and now they are more than 20 minutes long and 6 times a day.

Still having a few issues with some pain but last night she slept with out the trake, oxygen or any life support for the first time in 5 years. She still has 2 chest drains and 1 chest tube which are the only things hooked to her body.

So last night when she called me she talked about wanting to go to a beach on the outer banks in a few weeks and possibly going to a beach in the Caribbean next year. Her list of food was crab legs and the finest medium rare stake in North Carolina. I think she listed 9 places where she wants to eat.
