Hello everyone, well one and and a half years after the transplant and the blood pressure is going crazy.
I'm retiring from a life of law enforcement on April 30, my birthday present to myself.
I have been on lite duty for over four years now, Its time to take my SOC it pays more than disability without all the restrictions too.

Sometimes I have to wonder why I went through all the crap just to get here, but in between the viruses and high blood pressure life is still worth it. Do yourself a favor and get a cardiologist after the transplant unit gets you stabilized. I guess depending on your age and occupation blood pressure could unravel everything you worked for.
Retirement will allow me to find the miracle I needed to manage my new life style, work doesn't always understand. Be patient my friends a new life comes with a price so be willing to sacrifice life for a little inconvenience.

Hi Bounty Hunter!!    :cuddle;    I am glad you have decided to retire.  You have a really stressful job.  You deserve to sit back and take care of yourself, relax and enjoy this point in life.   We got our kidneys about the same time and you journey was always interesting to follow.  Thanks for letting us know about your upcoming retirement.  Congratulations  and thank you for defending and protecting the citizens of your area.  I bet you have been an amazing law enforcement officer.   

April 30th!!!!   :police:   :yahoo;    :clap;     :2thumbsup;    :cheer:       :police:   Job well done!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

It's great to have such friends that shared such a horrible time together, we all live with each others understanding of the pain that others go through and survive. Long life my friend, I'm going fishing come hell mor high water.
