What about cruising post transplant?

@rosemarya My husband is coming up on his 3 yr anniversary for his kidney transplant. While he was pretty strict following all the guideline right after and for the first six months, he has let most all of it slide now. I get frustrated with him, and still try to keep him protected, but it doesn't work most of the time. All I can do is explain my point of view and let him know my thoughts.

Are you sure you aren't my wife! I'm a little over 3 years on my kidney transplant and have slipped back into some of my old habits. Thankfully my wife also gets frustrated with me and tells me her thoughts. Most of the time I agree with what she's saying and concerned about. When I believe I'm correct I go ahead and eat or drink those things. Most of the time afterwards I'll find out she was actually correct but I definitely don't let her know that! For me, her thoughts and observations help remind me of the gift I've been given and to not risk my poor judgment at times. He's lucky to have you watching out for him! Are you sure that you aren't my frustrated wife venting!

@gingerw, I understand your concern and frustration. Keep the conversation going about how much you care, and insist that he keep up with his medicatons, his routine labs, and preventive medical screenings.
