Physical Awareness

Listen to your body as some days you will have more energy than others.  It is okay to take a nap in the middle of the day or several throughout the day, again some of the medications transplant patience are on cause insomnia and affect our energy levels.  

​

I have a walking plan and no matter what I walk 1 mile a day, some days are 2.5 and some are 5.  Some days after a 1 mile walk I curl up on the couch and I am done, others I do laundry, dishes, clean up etc. 

​

I have also found that some of my medications cause extremely weak legs.  I did have an experience where I bent down to pick up a medication that had fallen on the floor, I bent down to far, my legs gave out and I had to call for help as my legs were to weak to provide support to my body. 

​

Be smart, listen to your medical team, listedn to your body!
