Some photos I've already posted, but I'm putting them up again so the kidney photos don't show up on people's newsfeeds! :)
Here I am a few hours after surgery on Thursday.
Here I am a few hours after surgery on Thursday.
In my own clothes, walking laps Friday morning. Aren't the Ted hose a great fashion statement?
A friend brought me a care package and some yummy gluten-free cupcakes Friday afternoon! It was delicious, but I could only eat half of it.
And now for the graphic photos, just a warning!
Above is Teddy's new kidney in his body. Below are his old kidneys, which were removed. Notice the difference!! And the ruler is the same on in each picture. Wow, huh?! The surgeon said that Lefty was a little smaller than the average adult kidney, and thinner, so while it was still a tight squeeze, it worked out well for Teddy's body.
My lap incisions, about 48 hours post-op. I have five little incisions on my belly (that were for the laparoscopic tools) , and one several inches across, below my underwear line (which is where they pulled the kidney out). My belly is swollen and bloated. And our bathroom mirror really needs to be cleaned! :)
