It’s now over 2 weeks since my transplant and everything is going great.  Since traveling hour and thirty minutes to the hospital monday wednesday and friday mornings I have had only positive news from the doctors.

There’s quite a lot of things I need to get used to like drinking 2/3 litres a day which works out to be around 6 days intake when I was on dialysis.  Going to the toilet which im not used to, i seem to get up 5 times during the night.   Also I need to learn to sleep, lately im sleeping around 4 hours a night, maybe im worried about what the doctors are going to say the next time i see them, or if im going to get a phone call from them saying to come in urgently which has happened in the past.

Im on steriods and I was quite worried with how much I was eating to begin with, but now im now still eating loads (im getting good at cooking a chicken and bacon club) but im losing weight!  They had to check my weight twice today, they couldnt beleive i was getting lighter!

My life is slowly coming back, able to do more but still not as much as before mainly because i get a bit sore.  But im using my free time to learn a few new skills and catch up on all the great day time TV!

Just have to wait to see what the future brings…
