I'm so grateful that Daddy has had a good year! 

The only change I've noticed is that I need more sleep. Changed  from 7-8 hours to 8 1/2-10 hours.  At first I thought it was from the anesthesia. 

I've tried 8 hours and can't manage more than a couple of days. 

I'm quite sure it isn't a sign of depression.  Also not from being inactive, since I exercise nearly an hour a day.  My last round of blood work was normal, and I feel fine.  I just have the same bedtime as when I was 6 years old.   

Has anyone else needed more sleep long after recovery?

Have you had your thyroid checked???

That's a good idea, I don't think it was part of the standard blood work.  Too bad I didn't think of this when I was at the doctors yesterday. 

Love, elephant

Happy Kidneversary to you and your dad!
