Week +9: Goodbye Stent (and Dignity). This blog is very much intended to be a source of information for potential transplant patients, as well as friends and family and everyone who is interested in the kidney failure/transplant journey.
Month: September 2020
Week +8: Shot Across The Bow
Week +8: This week kept me on my toes. I had my first bath in a long time, paid an unexpected and frantic visit to hospital and went for a walk in the country. A sign of things to come.
Week +7: Thinking Longevity
Week +7: I intend to give this kidney the best chance of longevity possible, so am thinking about health and well-being like never before. I daresay there will be challenges to come but the fitter and stronger I am the better placed I will be to meet these head on. I firmly believe this is the best way to pay tribute to my donor and to all of you who have supported me throughout my journey.
Week +6: Sugar for the Pills
Week +6: Sugar for the Pills. Routine can be an anchor. No matter what’s going on in our day, the certainty of our routine can help us to manage the uncertainty that life can throw up. Coping with unpredictable periods of time can feel more doable when we have a little structure in place to look towards.
