Countdown To Transplant - Day 2

I woke up this morning with great confidence. I walked 1.3 miles before breakfast and another mile right after. I am still taking the Thymoglobulin, and his afternoon I received Tacrolimus for the first time. I will receive this medicine through my IV catheter from now until the time I leave the hospital. My temperature was up to 100.8 this afternoon and my throat began to feel scratchy. The nurse said that the fever was probably from the Thymoglobulin, and that it would drop slowly throughout the evening. I think with a little sleep and the mouth treatments they have provided me, my throat will clear up also. The transplant is near and I want to be top notch. I would like to thank my parents once again for all of their support. They have been aquiring my meals and spending time with me in my room. The isolation doesn't help the situation either. All of my visitors have to wear gowns, gloves, and a mask.
