Steve is almost 5 weeks post tx and the doctor told us today we would have another 4 to 8 weeks until they would begin doing tests. So the waiting period continues for us as well. Hang in there, tests will be done when the doctor's are sure it's the right time. I like to think they learnt something after all of their years of study although Steve thinks he can now be considered a doctor because he's so good at changing his peg dressing lol.
