A quick transplant update, and returning some love

Posted by stuart as link building

I’ve been out of hospital a week now, and whilst I must say being at home with my beautiful wife and adorable kids is great, the daily trips to the hospital are wearing me out.

On Wednesday, a biopsy revealed that my body was starting to reject the new organ, so I’m being given 1,000 miligrams (daily for three days) of prednisolone to combat the rejection. This is a horrible drug which leaves me an emotional wreck, bursting into tears at the slightest provocation.

Other than that, things are going as expected, I’m still peeing every half hour or so (When you have kidney failure you don’t pee, so your bladder shrinks to the size of a small coin, and it takes time for it to stretch once it is in use again). This is keeping me awake at night, and consequently I’m bloody exhausted.

I’m still in considerable pain from the surgery itself, but I’m ok as long as I keep popping the little white pills!
There’s not really much more to tell, so now I’d like to individually thank the people who were kind enough to leave encouraging thoughts in response to my last post. Each and every one of you brightened my (pretty dark) days over the last week or so with your comments:
