Ang got a transplant!

[okarol]

You may have seen that Ang added his name to out list of members who have received transplants! Here's a little more info:

tx  4 sept about 10pm
female kidney
just out of hospital after a week, still sore, long road ahead
creatinine 190/210
about 2ltr extra fluid very uncomfortable in a 5ft body
ask the questions, i'll try get the answers no more info

My note:

Congrats!! Ang, I am so happy for you!
Maybe they need to give you a diuretic to get rid of fluid.
What is normal creatinine for AU? Numbers are different here.
Do you have help at home? Do you go to the clinic 3 times a week?
Keep drinking water - it will help.

His response:

don't know the difference with  the  numbers (creat) but before it  was 1200 at the worst, now 190/210, no help at home the boss  does it all, hope after time , it'll come back to me how to do housework LOL
0800 every morning for a month for blood test if all  good  they wind it back to fortnightly/monthly etc  etc, they gave me like diuretics in hosp, they worked but they want you 2 kg over your base weight to keep the kidney flushed, 86kg into 5 feet height can be uncomfortable

Wondering how long Ang was on the list waiting? Yes, asking for selfish reasons. I have a feeling it was only a couple of years? (if so - awesome!).

Hope you're doing better today (whenever you read this) mate!

Not sure how long he waited. Ang joined IHD early in 2007 and I am pretty sure he was already on dialysis then. Hope he comes back soon and tells us more!

Oh wow...I really hope things go well for Ang and that he posts here eventually about it all.
