Progress is not linear, nor is it inevitable or consistent. It was unrealistic of me to expect it to carry on indefinitely and as spectacularly as I had experienced in my first year of living with a transplant. I just kind of got used to it.
Month +13: Self-Help Mumbo-Jumbo
The past year has taught me that living with a transplant is a subtle exercise in regulating both physical and mental health. Burnout culture has a lot to answer for, and we can't fix burnout with a bit of time off, it has to be a way of life.
Year +1: A Year of Incredible
Year +1 - A Year of Incredible: Today it is twelve-months to the day since I had my kidney transplant, and it's been one of the most amazing, exciting and challenging years of my life. It was only after I had my life-changing operation that I started to understand what life as a transplant recipient was really going to be about.
Month +11: Worth The Effort
Month +11: Worth The Effort. Wellness means different things for different. Remember, even the best laid plans take time to develop, and life is what we make it.
Month +10: Coming Around Again
Month +10: Last week it was my birthday, but life is not a rehearsal and I'm no longer concerned about getting older. I still can't quite fathom my good fortune.
Month +9: Progress Report
Month +9: It's nine-months to the day since my transplant and it's been another month of trial-and-error and tests, focusing on recovery and getting used to a new way of living.
Day +251: Welcome To Your (Post-Transplant) Life
Day +251: Welcome To Your (Post-Transplant) Life - So what is life like actually as a transplant patient?
Month +8: Why I Run?
Month +8: People sometimes ask me why I run. I always ask them why they don’t?
Month +7: On Friendship
A friend is one of the nicest things to have, and one of the best things you can be.
Month +6: Who’s With Me?
+6 Months: It's been 6 months to the day since I received my transplant and I still feel like the luckiest man alive...
