My husband is 6 weeks post tx. He gets very impatient with himself and his recovery. To underscore some of the comments made here...it is amazing what your body does!

I found it helpful to keep a diary of his progress and even setbacks - in fact due to a logistical issue and a health scare I had to take pix of him right after treatment to email to his treatment center 55 miles away. From there I decided to take a few pix of him every week. After 3 weeks when he was down in the dumps I gave him a picture chronology of 3 weeks along with the journal I kept of his food intake and even little things like - being able to smile again! He could then see the milestones he made in really a relatively short period of time.

He had forgotten the days during tx when he would tell me how he dreamed of being able to drink a glass of water again....and what that would mean to him...he is now so far along from that!

He was amazed and (clueless). It really improved his spirits!

The point is we are seeing that little baby steps taken one after the other get you farther down the road quicker than you think...so hang in there!
