    My transplant has been almost 7 years ago. I had to travel 2 hours for my transplant, stayed in the hospital for 3 days and hotel for two. I did drive myself there and home afterwards. At that time I also was taking care of my mother that was also on dialysis and was there for me during my surgery. I drove two hours home, stopped and picked up my check from work and took care of myself and my mother like I was doing before my transplant. This is just to say, everyone is different. Managing your health is all in how you take it in. They said I couldn’t drive for 6 weeks, then how will things get done. I never stopped driving even leaving the hospital. I took a pillow, placed it on my belly, strapped the seatbelt and was on my way home. The more you walk after the surgery, the less pain (only had pain meds after the surgery, never took them once I left the hospital) you will have and will be able to get around just like before the transplant probably even better. My brother, who had his transplant almost 30 years ago, was amazed that I was able to get around so quickly after my transplant. It took him 3 weeks. My mindset is that nothing will ever keep me down from doing what I need and have to do.....Not even a transplant. I received my transplant 38 days after being placed on the waiting list. After being on PD dialysis for 9 months. I thank God and worked real hard to maintain my health to meet every goal in order to receive a kidney. Prayer without works is dead...Remember it’s all in your mindset on how you recover....

      Best of luck, I hope he receives a new kidney. I am 62, and GFR is 23 - I am just starting to go thru the initial phases of testing, etc. I don’t even know what I don’t know yet, but feel blessed that my brother has offered a kidney to me. I am afraid for him mire than I am afraid for myself. I wish you the best.

    I'm 31 years old with a kidney below 10%, and I feel fine. I do get occasional cramps, but besides that, there are no symptoms. I've been doing dialysis for 3 months now, and I feel I have more energy now. I knew I wasn't lazy. I was just tired. Hopefully, I get off heno soon. Just worried that it might fail, I'd have to do dialysis allover again and wait years for another one

      When I was first diagnosed I wish I went earlier you see am not a very big fan of hospitals but my family made me go only for the doctors to tell me hey sit out of a 100% of kidney activity in your body yours are 14% active meaning 86% was gone meaning if I had still refused to go for another 4 weeks to month I probably be 6 feet under so all I can say thank God they caught yours before it was too late… make sure you talk to your doctors frequently

Wearing black skinny jeans again. But a bigger size lol. The weight does even put with a more active lifestyle. At least it did for me. Don’t be too worried at the start. It will be better.
