I had my final procedure yesterday - Tuesday - to have the stent removed. I was keen to go and have it done because it was giving me some trouble but I also knew it would hurt after, so I had mixed feelings. It was also another general anaethestic which was not great. I did get to have a good chat with the nurses though.
Right now, although it is a mini heatwave, I am lying on the sofa with my duvet which I always do when I am 'ill'.
Can you believe it is now 5 weeks since the transplant? My Dad has gone back to work now and seems to be ok.
I went and helped out with Grandma's school play last week, Guys and Dolls, which was very good.
I am managing my medicine well - there is one immune suppressant which I have to take twice a day but the timing is quite hard - it has to be one hour before food and two hours after food. Since I am hungry all the time this is not easy! I have put on several kilos and Mum thinks I am addicted to tuna sandwiches! That medicine also makes me quite shaky which is weird.
Last week was cool - I had a sleep over with my friend. It was great to get away from home for a night. I also played on the Wii for the first time in my life - it was really fun and it gives your arms a workout. I also watched a movie with my brother on Saturday.
I am down to twice weekly visits to the hospital for check ups.
So things are slowly getting back to normal......
