Today is 8 months post transplant (⅔ year)! Checkups every 2 weeks now. Only takes about 20 minutes . Coupe of vials of blood, urine sample and vitals. Most of scab off incision. Just putting a gauze pad on occcasionly because it is where the underwear and belt line is and the edges get irritated by my clothes. No more draining from it. All vitals are still OK. They tweaked my meds a bit. Took me off of sodium bicarbonate. Lowered my anti-rejection med a slight bit, lowered my Mg (OTC) a bit. Was getting some swelling in one leg and they gave me a doppler ultrasound-no clots. Said it may have been from the Prednisone I was taking. So they halved it and doubled my diuretic dosage.Swelling went down. Am back to seeing my Cardiologist, Nephrologist, Primary, and Dentist semi-annually.
Next on the list will be getting my cataracts taken care of.
