What a Transplant Will Do

[NolaGail]

  My grout is feeling very left out!

Congrats on the energy level.  I pray mine will be like that when I get my transplant.  I am like Rerun, I don't plan except to be tired.

Glad things are going well for you

Oh No. Wait a minute. So, your saying that if you get a transplant, you have to scrub your kitchen grout? I had no idea that was part of the deal. I refuse. No transplant for me. No way. I wont do it if it means I have to get on my knees and scrub my kitchen floor. All you folks who cannot find a kidney, take heed. This sounds like a very bad situation to me. If you found a kidney you might be expected to scrub your kitchen floor. Run the other way. Quickly.....turn and run !!!!

Yes, there could be a drawback here.
With a transplant, people will expect you to be normal enough to clean the grout!
Hummmm! You can always claim the cleaning chemicals are bad for the kidney.

Just remember, I was home for THREE MONTHS before going back to work. I was bored with TV after about a week, and got tired of sitting on my rear end reading after about a month. I had to find something to do!

That is good news. You must be looking better.Sometimes it takes a person who hasn't seen you in a while to notice a difference you are unaware of.
Now, do you feel like you look better?
Do you notice any physical changes in your face or physique?

You mean aside from the weight I've gained? I haven't been careful about what I've been eating, just enjoying being able to have cheese and chocolate again without feeling like I need to take five binders with it! Since I've been on prednisone for most of my life, my face really hasn't changed much that I'm aware of.

As for how I feel, there's no way to describe it. I feel incredible! I actually got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the grout in our kitchen the other day for two and half hours, then cleaned my son's bedroom and bathroom later that day. While on dialysis I would have done about 30 minutes in the kitchen and been wiped out for the rest of the day.

My husband's transplant is scheduled for May 14th.  All I can say is that I hope he will get into scrubbing floors after he has a transplant

Seriously, this is my first chance to sit and read posts in this area. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
