Lil over three weeks

I'm doing great, nearly full range of motion with little to no pain. I still feel pain when doing certain things, but in general I feel improvement from day to day.

I drove myself to barbershop today...felt like I ran a marathon when I returned home. I just it takes time to regain stamina after laying around for three weeks.

Another side benefit is weight loss. MD's say it's excess water weight being stripped off by the new kidney. Not complaining in the least, I needed to loss a few pounds...I should be beach ready by summer!

I want to thank everyone who has supported me through this journey. This ordeal has changed my outlook on life and my understanding of the nature of good people. I hope to be able to pass on good deeds in the future.

I'll post some pictures from the hospital once I locate my transfer cable for the camera.

Two weeks out

It's been just over two weeks now since the transplant. Revocery seems to get better from week to week. Currently, I'm schuduled to visit the transplant clininc twice a week for the next month to check my progress and recieve my Belatecep infusion. Some days are hard to get out of bed, but I've been managing. All in all things are going well, just wish I could fast forward to the easier days.

Nexr major event is to have this stent removed from my bladder...not looking forward to that one!
