Success!

Hey all,

My kidney transplant went well and I'm on the road to recovery. I've had some bumps but over all, I'm doing much better with a gfr of 93. (Big jump from 11!) My phosphorus was so low they decided to do an emergent infusion and that has helped. I'm struggling to adapt to the prograf as it gives me the worst tremors and keeps me up at night. Otherwise, I'm walking everywhere and healing well. Thank you all for the unconditional support leading up to this!

The tremors will eventually get better, at least they did for me. Sleeping at night will also get better but took a couple of months. I think part of it is your body getting used to your immunosuppressants.

Glad to hear all is going well now. It took about a week from me to adjust to the tremors
