Hi, so it's been over a year since I wrote anything. I just wanted to let everyone know, (whoever actually reads this lol) that I had my kidney transplant in Feb. I got a perfect match kidney and so far everything is going really well. Blood work is back to normal ranges and I just had my peritoneal catheter removed yesterday. Soon I will get rid of all the boxes of peritoneal fluid that is in my kitchen. Yea!! I have like 60 cases of this stuff, and I have a small home. Anyone who may read this and is nervous about a potential transplant surgery, I want to let you know I was extremely nervous about all this. Including all the medications I have to be on from now on, but I feel so much better. The next day after surgery I felt "lighter". I don't know if it was because the new kidney was getting all the toxins out of my body or also because of the weight lifted by having it be all over with. To any and all who read my health woes and prayed for me or just thought about me while reading it with kindness in their hearts a big "Thank you"! Hopefully this will last me about 20 years or so. You never know, but I'm hoping and praying it doesn't all go wrong. To anyone who knows someone who needs a transplant or is waiting on one, I pray all goes well with your situation.
