Speedwalker - Day 13

Had a good night! No sign of fever. Everyone gets a bit bent out of shape here over the mention of a fever, as it can be one of the first signs of organ rejection. Thankfully, the only thing I’ve rejected so far is the fever! The chest tube still burbles occasionally, but should (fingers crossed) come out tomorrow. I’m on more pain meds than usual due to the chest tube, but otherwise feel pretty good. Or maybe I feel pretty good due to the pain meds, and otherwise have a chest tube.

Balloons from work.
Mr. Happy Face can be a bit frightening in the middle of the night.

Today I started doing consecutive full laps around both “A” and “B” wards without needing to stop in between. Hoo-rah! (in his best Marine voice)
