@454june3736, I am 8 months post transplant and I'm feeling great and doing very well. My transplant team is very pleased with my progress. My surgery was a robot-assisted kidney transplant which involves a few tiny incisions in the abdomen as opposed to the 8 to 12 inch incision of the traditional kidney transplant. Because of that, healing was quick. And from the time that I was transferred to my room after surgery...to this day...I have not had any pain associated with the transplant and, so, have not needed nor taken any pain medication. I was up and walking around my hospital floor the day after the transplant, and I was discharged just two days after the transplant. I am at the point now where I get blood work drawn every two weeks (instead of twice a week), and I see the transplant team every two months (instead of twice a week). The transplant has been a blessing.
