Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums. I donated my left kidney to my father two weeks ago, and although he's older, I don't regret it. Knowing that I saved him is wonderful. I'm happy with that.
I'm struggling with recovery. Nausea and exhaustion are keeping me pretty low. I'm a mother of two energetic boys so feeling helpless is terrible for me. Today is my first day without percocet and the pain is, gladly, tolerable. The exhaustion, however, is almost more than I can bear. It's depressing to be unable to do what I do, and I'm going stir crazy. I'm a summer baby, I need sunshine and the beach so this is a struggle. Anyone have any suggestions for me to get through this? Loneliness in illness is also pure misery.
Thanks, and nice to meet everyone.
