Three weeks
Today marks three weeks post surgery. I just spoke to my coordinator and covered the two issues I currently have. The first being the roughly one inch area below and to the left of my belly button that is still numb. And the second is a small (less than pea sized) knot in my arm at the site of the last heparin injection. It doesn’t hurt or anything, I just noticed its being there. She said she would follow up with the surgeon regarding these and get back to me. She also said my lab results from last week were looking good. My creatinine level was 1.48, the best it had been since surgery. This means my lone kidney is picking up like it should.
On other thing she said was that my recipient was doing well and would actually be coming in for labs today and that she would be able to give me a little more information on him later.
And, finally, here are my scars after three weeks. I won’t be posting this to Facebook. I feel like I’m an attention whore if I post a lot of stuff there.
