January 18th marked six months after transplant! I haven't been updating because there hasn't been much to update about. I did a follow-up interview with a local news station yesterday and it was so quick. I didn't really have anything news-worthy to talk about. :)
I recently had my six month check up, which just consisted of a blood draw and urine sample at my local lab. I'm waiting to get my GFR, but my creatinine was 1.2, which is just fine. My coordinator told me that usually at the one-year mark is when we'll see my 'new normal', it may fluctuate a bit until then. (Once I get that GFR I'll post with all my numbers before, immediately after, and six months after surgery.)
I really have nothing to complain about. I have felt back to normal for a long time now. My only 'issues' are cosmetic - still trying to get used to my large scar. I did have some ultrasound therapy done that loosened up the scar tissue quite a bit. Time and massage work will continue to improve that scar. Two of my five small scars are nearly invisible now.
Teddy seems to be doing well! I haven't seen him in a long time, but Sarah is often posting about all the new things he's doing and getting into - just like any other toddler!
