Hi everyone. Haven't posted in a long time. Just wanted to say hi and check in. Still reading the posts often and plan on posting more. Quick update on me: My kidney is still working ( can't believe it's been 4.5 years!). Creatinine is slowly creeping up so we're checking some things to see if it's Cyclosporine toxicity, but it's pretty stable otherwise. I decided earlier this year to stop living in fear of the new kidney failing and start taking more chances so I changed jobs/careers and quit restaurant management and became a Pilates Instructor. Then I went around Europe alone for 5 weeks this summer, which was amazing! Now I'm working as a Pilates Instructor and loving it. I train so many different clients and work with so many injuries. Thinking of finding a way to work with people on dialysis too since we all know how hard it is to want to exercise with kidney failure, let alone actually doing it. So for now I'm working and planning my next trips out of the country for next year. I'm determined to get as much "living" out of this kidney as possible!
Wishing everyone the best
