Day 30!

It has been 30 days since my transplant, and that means ... I'm FREE!  A bunch of restrictions get lifted today.  I'm able to leave the house without a mask (though I still have to wear it in hospital settings), and I no longer have to follow my low microbial diet (though I have to avoid raw meat/fish for another month).

I feel like I should be more introspective on the process, but at the moment I'm just grateful for my health and for being able to enjoy some independence.  I'm grateful for the prayers of friends and family and the love of my wife who took care of me.  More than anything, I'm grateful for God's sustaining grace.

I guess it's time to start trying to get back into a work mindset.  I'm excited, but I'm extremely nervous since I've been out for so long.  The plan is to go back on 12/7, pending confirmation from my doctor that that's a good idea.
