Looks like I get discharged today. My health is coming back at a GREAT pace and all things considered I feel REALLY good. The kidney is working in my recipient extremely well also. It's like every Christmas all in one week. :-)

So far it's 12 days out. I can finally sleep on my sides now (for the most part). Don't need the oxycodone anymore thank heavens. That stuff screwed with my sleep something tremendous. Making good friends with Tylenol. I don't think my appetite suffered for one second though.

Hi Julian,

Glad to hear you are on the mend. did you have your follow up visit yet? I remember you posting about an elevated ALT (liver function test) andI was wondering what ever happened with that? Did it go down back to baseline post donation? Hope you get good results at your follow up. Continue in your recovery and enjoy the time off.
