Now that all the cutting is done.....


Since my transplant so much has happened. I have been very lucky, my blood tests have been perfect and I have not had any complications with my kidneys or anything. I was off the steriods after the first three months and the continue taking Prograf with the Bactrum and so on. I am now only on Prograf. 4mg in the morning and in the night. I could not of asked for a better first year. My body and Liver are doing great. I have only been able to gain a few pounds even though I eat like a pig. I guess it could be much worse and I am positive that when I am 35 I will be wishing it would be the same.
I have dodged sickness, I don't know how but I have. Other then a few runny noses I haven't caught anything. This amazes me because I live in a house with little kids who get sick because their immune systems are still stregthing. The flu went through my house multiple times and got everyone........but me. I am lucky. I think my first year has been defined more by the happenings in my social life than anything though.
