Phraxis, just start slowly and work your way up when doing ab work. It maybe painful at first, but the more you build up to, the better and easier it will be.
Good Luck

Six months, and all is going great!

Was sent home from clinic with exhortation to keep doing what I am doing, and "don't screw it up!"

Thanks again for all your kindness.

Despite the warning that nothing has been posted in the thread for 120 days, I am going to share the celebration of approaching 12 months post transplant.

Tiff celebrated by completing the 125 km Great Canadian Death Race. Her team finished in 18 hours. Nothing says "recovery" like a brisk 22 km run through the mountains . I was on babysitting duty.

Swam for the first time -- wow I never thought 100 m could be so far.

Kidney function and all levels described as "perfect, just like always".

Tiff was honoured at our local Kidney Walk  (she was teased about her lack of preparation as she showed up with gladiator sandals but then as above she did not really see the 5 km as much of a challenge)

I will repeat my gratitude to all who post here and add their support, it has been a great help to me this past year.
