Just thought I'd write a super quick update since I'm staring at the computer while my Garmin updates anyway. We made the two month mark today! Two months post-donation/transplant! Wow!!! It seems like such a long time ago, but at the same time, almost like it was yesterday. We're both still making progress in our respective recoveries; he is back to work, on his full time schedule, and I have been for about a month. He has made some kick-ass progress with his kidney function (YAY LEFTY!!!), and has even been able to have some of his anti-rejection meds decreased. Lefty is making himself right at home in his new abdomen. I still get tired from in the afternoons, some days are worse than others (read: crippling fatigue that makes me want to cry). I find that it usually happens on Mondays after working a full weekend. I power through, mostly because two-year olds have no concept of "Mommy is beyond tired and you refused to take a nap, so sit still for a half hour while she lays down". That just ends up with the house looking like a tornado raced through it and took out everything but that one wall that aforementioned two-year old used as his canvas to test out his awesome new crayons and his bowl of fishy crackers. This fatigue has caused me to become a caffeine junkie again. It balances out though; I also drink a lot more water than I used to, mostly because I pee a lot more frequently (except at work. I always forget to pee at work).
Well friends, the Garmin is finished updating, so off to bed I finally go. Happy a happy and safe 4th of July weekend, and I'll be back soon!
