Hello all! It's been a while and I have some news! My step sister was just approved today to be my kidney donor and we can move forward with transplant! That being said, I also had a hazy bag while draining today and was diagnosed with Perotinitis, which is an infection of the Perotineal lining of the abdomen. Thankfully, it's early onset, so it was caught early and I won't end up getting seriously sick, but this also comes after having a lot of abdominal and constipation issues that have always been a problem for me, so it was hard to swallow.
Basically, today was a rollercoaster of emotions since everything hit in a matter of hours. I'm still in shock of it all; the transplant that will be happening in just a few short months and the fact that I still got what could have been a serious infection despite working my butt off to prevent it. I already know that my nephrologist is upset that I stopped the Linzess for my constipation since it left me utterly dehydrated and unable to go to the bathroom for days, and I'm nervous that my Perotinitis is just going to be proof of that. However, I also know that I did everything that I could, and considering the circumstances for my issue in the first place (it is a long story y'all), I'm hopeful that it won't affect things too much.
Anyhow, that's all I got for now! I will keep you all updated on the transplant situation and how things pan out! Please send good vibes/prayers/juju! Thanks!
