Boring...?

Well, it was three months and one week since the big day. My liver is (I hope) happily living in Salinas. I am finally starting to feel much better. My bad reaction to one of the immunosuppressants really knocked me back. I was sick for five weeks or so and I think I am a month behind in recovery. I was so weak when I got out of the hospital, but am getting so much stronger every day.
I don't have to go back to UCSF for three months! Yee haw! And I only need blood tests every other week. My kidney function inched up a little more, and I am so grateful for that--I can really notice how much better I feel.
I think my scar is appalling--Lon says it is a badge of honor! I get "jiggle belly" when I'm up too long or go on a long car ride and "swelly belly" most every evening , probably to remind me of this miracle. I have 23 prescriptions that I take on a regular basis and a few more as needed. I take about 16 pills every morning and 9 every night. I think I'm real tough because I can chug them all in about five minutes. It's good to develop new talents.
I an so thankful this is becoming boring. It sure beats exciting!

More good news

Three weeks ago I went to the kidney transplant evaluation. I passed with flying colors! I was trustworthy enough to afford meds and I would take them on time. I had someone to daycare me after the surgery and take me to follow up appointments, etc. etc.
Well today they called and I got kicked off the list! My kidneys are working too well (barely!) to get a transplant! I am feeling so much better than even two or three weeks ago. I would say it's a miracle!
