Donated kidney to father both are doing well
« on: March 26, 2013, 08:27:24 AM »
Hello All, Thanks for all the support Vd advice that this site gave me before my dads and I kidney transplant on Friday. This site with God had me very calm, at peace, and my anxiety level was normal. Education and awareness is a priority when going through something like this.Everything that you guys said to expect happened. I'm 4 days post surgery and recovering well I think. I'm using the bathroom alot and my urine is practically clear. (I drink alot of water). The surgeons said that my kidney was pretty :)......my dads creatinine is at 1.7 as of yesterday . I immediately saw a change in his skin. He will discharged tomorrow from hospital but will reside in the local townhouses in b ham to be monitored.. I'm grateful everything went well!'

Public congratulations on the major milestone. 

As already stated - take time to be good to yourself.  You have been through a lot over the last few weeks especially.

Dear Willis,

Yes, make sure you get a lot of sleep, your body has a lot of healing work to do. 

Love, elephant
