Hey guys!! I hope y'all had a good week. My week was another great week. Work was awesome sauce as usual. We got another Physical Therapist working, she is very nice. Now I have 3 PT I'm working under. I hope my schedule at work will get a little bit busier. :) On Monday I had to get my blood drawn, but I forgot. So on Tuesday I remembered, but I already took my prograf . Wednesday I got it all right and they took my blood at Alta View so I didn't have to go to IMC. The reason why they wanted my blood was to check the level of prograf  in me because I am now off fluconazol  the pill that fights of fungi infecting stuff. I guess when people go off it their prograf  level tends to lower. Mine was a little bit low last time they checked it so they wanted another poke. I was still a wee bit on the lower end so they bummed my prograf  to 2 pills in the morning and 3 pills at night time. Ever since then I feel like I have a little pep in my step kinda ...

Busy BUSY week! Monday : I had my last biopsy going through my neck!!! So happy I am! Now they can just take my blood and do some testing on it to see if the ticker is rejecting or not. There is a magical number 34, so if I am below 34 I am good to go, but if I am above, then I will have to go in for a normal neck cramping biopsy. This test is called Al-o-map not quit sure how to spell it, but how thrilled I am about it. It takes 48 hours to process though. My alomap  came back at 32. I asked the nurse what was the lowest number he has seen and he said it doesn't matter because a 10 or a 32 could mean the same amount of rejection. I thought that was interesting. So my biospy  and echo was great. I asked the radiologist that was performing my echo about ejection fraction (EF), how well the left side of the heart pumps blood to your body. He said that most athletes have a lower EF, mine is a 56% if I round it up. Ever since I was diagnosed with my heart problem EF was a hug...

Dang, this week sure flew by but another great week to put in the books for me. I was looking at my instagram  the other day and someone posted about how we can choose to be positive or negative about our situation and life. I totally agree. I feel like when I am nagging and negative, I feel sucky  but when I am happy and positive the world is just a better place. It is so simple to say things that aren't very nice. For example, Steve and I were at the ISU soccer game today in Logan and there was this Utah State fan yelling at the ref and just yacking his mouth. One of the ISU fans started to say could you shut up and other stuff that wasn't so nice. And then you can probably imagine what happen a few exchanged words that are bad ones may I add. In the end the Utah State fan was just being a little loud, but I think the ISU fan could of just ignored the man like everyone else was doing. That probably wasn't that great of an example, but you get the point. Like my mom taug...

I could say wow, what a busy weekend, but honestly we didn't do much. But hey, we still had a great Labor day weekend.  My week was good no complaints at all, except I think I over did myself. So I told y'all that I played in my first soccer game 2 Saturdays ago. On Monday (not Labor day) I went out and kicked the ball around and did some sprints afterwards my ankles hurt slightly nothing to be aware. I went on with my week continued to exercise. On Wednesday I went to the gym in the morning and then in the evening I played tennis with my hubby. After that, my ankles hurt again. On Thursday I went on a walk with Wrigley and did an ab workout. On Friday after work I decided to go for another run. I started out just great I think my endurance is finally paying off. But then afterward my ankles were killing me, like I didn't finish my run because of these ankles of mine. So when I got home, I found a bucket and filled it up with water and ice and stuck my ankles in it...
