Doug is doing well; he has even gained a couple of pounds. He still has occasional dizzy spells and tires easily but by now that is just part of our semi-normal life. We have had friends over, and Doug even shook hands (and used his hand sanitizer afterward). That sounds funny, but the warnings we got from the transplant team are enough to make one almost paranoid. He is talking about maybe going to church this Sunday despite being advised to avoid crowds. At some point common sense has to take over -- I think if we are careful it will be okay.
We went out riding today on our recumbent trikes. They are so easy and require no balance; if Doug gets a dizzy spell he can just sit there until it passes. When we got them a few years ago it was because of my poor balance -- who knew that it would be good exercise for Doug's recovery! Riding them feels like a cross between a bigwheel and a go-kart. Buena Vista's mostly level streets are a perfect place to ride, and the weather was wonderful this afternoon.
I thought I'd better get a photo of the bald and beardless Doug without a hat while he is still hairless. He now has a slight mustache and a few beard hairs that would make a seventh grade boy proud.
We consider Doug's ongoing recovery a miracle. We continue to be so thankful for God's healing and all the support and prayers from friends and family.
Love to all.
