@rosemarya Thank you. My pancreas is in fine shape. I was quite concerned the first day of the increased steroid load because it bumped my sugars above my normal and I became fearful of failure of the transplant. Thankfully that resolved within 24 hours and my sugars are steadily down to around 100 with a few up to no more than 114. I know that is a stringent goal, but I am comfortable with it. I am not panicking when it goes higher, but it sure gets my attention. I realize I am oversensitive after decades of rollercoaster 40-over 300 blood sugars.
My kidney tests are better than when I was admitted because there is a load off with treatment of the bladder infection. I can now be confident that this will not progress to a kidney infection and give me increased kidney damage. My eGFR has gone from 24 to 29 in just a few days. That relieves another stressor.
I am going home with better test results than I have had for months and so grateful for the wonderful workings of God and man to make such things possible.
I always remember that more than one life has been sacraficed for me to be here and I feel responsible to use my time wisely.
Blessings for your health journey as well.
