Hey people! If you're reading this, I hope you're doing well. I'm doing well, kidney wise, thank you! Just celebrated three years with the new transplant. Besides a minor scare earlier this summer where I got violently ill and as a result, dehydrated, I'm doing well.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO STAY HYDRATED.
Still, three years out, I'd say one of the biggest hurdles to overcome in living with a transplant is your mental state. Sometimes, I still live in fear of dialysis. I live in fear of losing the transplant, and I have to work very hard to cope with that.
Well, this is just a short check in. Again, maybe someday I'll have more drain dribble for you, but for now - just keep living.
