Hi this is Malinda.  I am 6 weeks post-transplant and my recovery has been incredibly smooth.  It was nice to get home before I planned to prior to the transplant.  I have been busy with lots of doctors appointments, napping and just plain recovering.  Last week they gave me the okay to drive if I am not on pain killers.  Randy and I went to go pick up my dog Molly at my good friends house up in Cook MN.  It was a blessing to have her up there while I was in the hospital and recovering at home.  Now it is a blessing to have her back.  She gets me outside.  I want to thank all of you for your prayers and kindness for the last year or so.  I really believe in the power of prayer, there is nothing I can do about my condition, so I have left it in Gods hands.  I truly believe that is why my surgery and recovery has gone so well.  I don’t know what he has planned for my future, but I am sure it will be awesome!  Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayer especially my Mom and Dad.
