So what has changed?

April 3, 2018April 3, 2018 The Girl With Kidney Failure4 Comments

Every time someone sees me since my transplant, they always ask me how I am feeling now. I guess its a valid question. Everyone says I look so different so it makes sense that they would want to know if ย I feel any different. There are good things that have changed and there are some… Continue reading So what has changed?

Incredibly lucky to have my sister as my best friend ๐Ÿค— #MyBigFatParkerWedding
I finally wrote another blog post! I wrote all about my experience with CMV, the symptoms I have and a little bit of advice. A quick update on my test results: unfortunately I am still CMV positive but I will be retested in two weeks time. My numbers have improved dramatically and my doctor is happy with my progress. My little kidney is also looking good and has gone back to being perfect. You know where to find the link ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ
For the first time since my transplant, Iโ€™m actually sick. I have a transplant related illness ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ I know Iv been really silent on instagram but purely because I was enjoying my life. But hereโ€™s what happened in the last two weeks. I felt weird. My body hurt, my head hurt and I just didnโ€™t feel like myself. I decided to blame the blood moon ๐ŸŒ luckily for me, I had a routine check up with my doctor and it turns out, I am CMV Positive. CMV is a relatively safe virus for a normal person. But not for someone with a suppressed immune system. My viral load is insanely high and I have no idea what to do with myself. I have no energy and absolutely no appetite. Iv been going to work (purely because I have no sick days to take off) but I am not productive. I wish I could say this post transplant journey is rosy but itโ€™s not. Just when you think youโ€™re perfectly healthy, youโ€™re hit with something new. So what now? I am currently on a very strong antibiotic and we will see if I am still CMV positive in two weeks time. I guess I will keep you updated and share a little bit about CMV over the next two weeks.
Six months ago, this time I was ridiculously high on morphine and peeing like a mad person ๐Ÿ˜› Happy 6 month kidney anniversary to me!
I wrote a new blog post about how life has changed since my transplant. The good and the bad. Firstly, chicken nugget addiction is back ๐Ÿ˜‚ you know where to find the rest ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ’
I told everyone today that Iโ€™m 23. It was all going well until I was surprised with this cake ๐Ÿ˜‚
