It just takes time. I went back to work after 3 months, I couldn’t stay home anymore. Some people recover faster. It’s a process and try not to rush it

Thanks for the reply! Do you have any metabolic problem or just kidney transplant from other reason? Can you tell us what kind of work are u doing?

Jstarr87 in reply to Skevi6 years ago

I don’t have a metabolic problem. I needed a transplant due to an autoimmune disease. And I was just working at an ice cream shop.

Thats good! Im trying to think what my girl can do to keep busy... being all time at home is not helping

Jstarr87 in reply to Skevi6 years ago

What city are you living in? She could just get a job somewhere. I couldn’t be in the house anymore. I had to get out, as soon as I was cleared. Tell her to just be mindful about being around sick people.

Hi Skevi, I agree it all takes time. I had my first transplant at 37 and after 3 months had to return to work. Lived in Brookkyn and took train to work...and was always cautious about washing hands and just being aware of people with colds and being around children as they do tend to have the ability to transmit their germs more rapidly to an immune supressed person. Mindfulness is the key.

Yoga helped me get back on track and being enganged with positive upbeat people and going to museums, seeing art and as many cultural activists as I could manage, along with walks in nature as the art and nature do wonders for healing mind, body and soul.

Hi Skevi, yes I did from first transplant, but was so grateful to having a new and healthy life once more that was the least of my problems. Perhaps a nutritionist would be a good step in starting to eat mindfully and healthy. I wish I had stayed with yoga when I had my first transplant, but so few places offered it. However much later in my life I found it so wonderful as it is a great healing process for the mind and body and helped me get through renal failure once more on towards my second transplant.

You know everyone heals differently after such a major change, like a transplant. I did go see a psychiatrist to begin this as my second step in healing, as my kidney was a gift from my brother. So for me, healing came physically, then mentally and finally spiritually. It's different for everyone, and she will find her way with the right help.

Very very helpful everything you mentioned!!!! Its a major operation and a change of life , especially for a teenager like my girl! But we must find ours ways... surely needs time!!!wish you all the best....😘
