nh, they said 'whehn we reduiced your steroids we were hoping your weight would go down and not up'

they are hoping to wean him off them totally soon.

plus cardiac rehab and exercise programme should help him.

i am still giggling though at his insistance that i shrunk his clothes.

his friend made him feel better, said he still had a long way to go to catch up to his 17stone lol.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/04/2008 22:31

mayhbe they can provide mcvities vouchers with every transplant noddyholder?

i know it must be hard for him and you being on steroids, is there anything we can actually do? its been slow going getting him into cardiac rehab as he has some bouts of rejections and only just been allowed to start it. will they give him diet sheets etc as well?

he is a crunchy nutter as well lol.
