Well, it has taken me 2 years post kidney transplant to really see big improvement in my energy levels, stamina, quality of life, clear headedness, med stabilization, much less pain. I have some love back for life now. I had to just accept that my recovery took longer than maybe others. Hard to accept and hard to trust this lengthy process and hard to trust my docs and me for what is, is. And to really trust God to guide my recovery in It's time, not mine. I would run out of patience, get depressed and anxious. But I got on psych meds to help and really started trusting the good docs I found who really cared about me feeling better. This makes me almost cry, as I slowly found the most caring doctors/nurses who told me the truth of my recovery and that they would not abandon me, would be there for me all the way through it all, no matter how long it took. I can today really say how blessed I am and my kidney is doing so well. Now I am potentially facing coronary artery disease. Anyone else have this pop up? I hear that the prednisone 2.5mg can make this disease worse. Blessings to all in your recovery and healing. You are never alone. BB
