Post Transplant Blues
Hi all. I (31M) just had my kidney transplant a few days ago, I’m still in the hospital. I have been blessed with a steadily falling creatinine level and the doctors are very happy with progress so far. Everything seems to be going to plan and has actually been easier on me than I expected. My donor is recovering well and has been discharged from hospital.
One thing I wasn’t prepared for was how I would feel after. I realise it is very early days and things could change, but it has been such a journey to get here with gradual kidney function decline over 10+ years and a recent stint of dialysis and now suddenly it’s looking like things will work out.
I guess I’m not looking for answers just a place to express my thoughts. I am so very thankful to my donor, words couldn’t do it justice, I was just not prepared to feel like this.
