Surgery!
Hi everybody! I got my kidney transplant on April 22! I feel much better already. According to the doctors, I am doing much better than expected, so much so that they are releasing me from the hospital Monday instead of Thursday. I can’t thank my donor enough for, well, saving my life. It is the most amazing gift I have ever received and I will always be indebted to you. The next four months are the tricky part, that is the time frame that most people show signs of acute rejection. If I had to describe how I feel it would be euphoric. I am so excited to finally get on with my life after 3 years of standing still. I have had a few minor complications, my blood count will not stay up no matter how much blood they give me, which is worrisome as it could be an artery that is bleeding. Even that can’t get to me right now though. I feel like a new person. I want to thank everyone for their kindness and support over the past few years. I would not have made it to this point without you.
I’m so glad you have a new kidney!
