Well its now 9. 30pm in UK & got my kidney from dad at around 3Pm yesterday. I think it started working right away.
so The figures so far are: Yesterday before the OP my creatinine was 500, got my Kidney at 3pm yesterday & this morn 6am bloods showed at 299! and at 6pm this eve level was 194! Has gone from 9% function to 16% to about 26 ! surgeon was very happy wIth it so far & bladder is draining fine but still need to see what happens when I stand up as my bladder is in different place to normal so its just wait & see. Hopefully kidney's on track now
I had a real adrenalin rush & was a bit hyper & existed but that's crashing now, just worried bout bladder more. am just shattered & scared & am desperate to see dad, maybe tomorrow, he's amazing best dad ever. he sayS elena makes him losing a Kidrey worthwhile & she says grandad to him now :)
Right need some sleep as was Woken every 20 min s last night by beepirg or something. will keep you updated, marie x

Hi everyone am 8 days post OP & home with mum dad hubby & Kids. Got to go back for bloods etc & to have my catheter & stent removed by my urologi st cos of my unusual bladder structure.
left on a high with last 2 days creatinine being 79 gfr 78! I know it will fluctuate up but just so amazed it even reached that sort of figure. looking forward to getting some sleep tonight , there was a right snorer on my ward Lol! x

There's nothing like sleeping at home! Those darn hospitals. They schedule so much for the middle of the night. Good to hear you're doing well.
