Kidney update!!!!
11 years ago
So, it's been a few crazy busy days. Saturday morning I got a call dating to come into the hospital because they had a donor kidney for me. Did a bunch of prep work, no food or drink all day and a tube inserted into my neck. Went under general anaesthesia and woke up to find out they couldn't do the op because there was a problem with the donor kidney. Heartbreaking and totally gut wrenching since I was put under and everything. Stated the night in hospital, went home Sunday. Got a call first thing Monday morning while I was still in bed. Back to hospital, had another tube put in my neck in the same spot since they'd had to take out the other one (ouch!). Back into theatre, got the op done this time!! Yay! Since then I've slowly been weaned onto weaker pain tablets, am allowed food again and have been able to take a few steps. Doctors say I'm going really well. It's been less than three days since my op and I feel better already. Can't wait to get my life back together with my wonderful husband
sinbiowolf who has been in to see me every day and is busy making sure everyone close to me knows what's happening and is keeping everything organised for me <3
