One month update after transplant

[Guest guest]

Hi All

Just a post to let you know how the first month after transplant went.

Has not been a walk in the part but has not been to bad.

My main problems have been from being in the hospital as the beds

wrecked my back big time. That's the only reason I took any pain pills.

As of today the Doc's lowered some of my drugs and said I don't have to

check my blood sugar levels anymore as they have great so far, plus he

said I can start driving again.

The pain has not been to bad other then your insides feel like they

are moving around when you do any training at all and the scar is big.

other then the first week I'm happy I did it and was lucky enough to

get a transplant. I thought I was one of those that would never get the

call do to my blood type, so don't give up you never know when the call

might come. Did talk with a gal today that has been on the list for 6

years now , she has a Melt number of 16 and they nurse told her she

would not get one till her numbers were up to 20 or so.

I hope to go back to work in a few weeks and get some pills paid lOL.

The road is long

With many a winding turn

That leads us to who knows where

Who knows where

But I'm strong

Strong enough to carry him

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the update! It's great to hear you're doing well and on

the mend.

Hang in there, you've been through a major medical procedure and it's

going to take a while to mend completely.

I bet it feels good to get behind the wheel again! lol

Good luck and heal up quick. ;-)
