Hello... So actually did work, worked part-time though. And came home to maintain family. I rested before cooking and while dinner was cooking, on low, I helped with other parts of family like bathing, homework. If u do crockpot meals it's easier, and cook on low that morning or evening before. It works u just have to manage. Or freeze meals for later. I really hope this helps u. Good luck.

Yes, On Feel good days I usually cook somethings and freeze them also. All are very easy ideas. Also purchased air fryer is a great help also. We have come a long ways with appliances today.

I went to my annual check up for the transplant, and found my magnesium was low despite the pills I been taking for a year, so the gas to give me and magnesium infusion. My hemoglobin/is very low so now I'm waiting on my primary to set up iron infusions, I just saw him Thursday, so hopefully I hear something very soon. And that I have a inflamed esophagus, esophagitis. Otherwise I'm fine, just tired alot.
