Where's the Rest of Me?!
I'm three weeks out from my surgery and doing well. Last Thursday, during my first visit to the post-transplant clinic, my staples were removed. However, my drain is still installed, no doubt because of all the broken kidney cysts the contents of which still need to be removed from the surgery site.

Between July 30 (the day after I came home) and this past weekend, I lost FORTY POUNDS. I had almost forgotten what my kneecaps and ankles looked like!

ReplyDeleteYou look great :D
Wow--that's quite a thing. Looks like that ONE WEIRD TRICK worked out for you :p Glad you're doing so well.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteI share Anonymous' sentiment! You look healthy and energetic in the "after" picks ... and we wouldn't want it to be the other way around!

Well, I wouldn't wish this WEIRD TRICK on anyone else if they could help it. :-) Still dropping weight BTW -- down to 205 this am.

Looking good! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Still at 205 as of this am, so it looks as though I'm keeping to a reasonable diet and/or getting enough exercise at present.
Chris
That's wonderful. I wish you years of good health.
