Mostly back to normal, except occasional sometimes routine fatigue. And hot weather just does me in. I continued to work as I could at a significantly reduced % effort and doing a lot from home. Am still working very part time job in same field. Yard work went by the wayside as did housework but I never liked that anyway so this was a good excuse! I am in remission altho my primary doctor (a rheumatologist) doesn’t seem to like that term. I encourage you to completely take it easy for a few months to let your body focus on getting better. Also, ask to meet with a dietician who specializes in kidney disease to discuss your diet and what if anything needs to change. If the docs direct such a consult, your insurance should pay for it. Pls doesn’t hesitate to ask any questions or we can talk by phone when you’re up to it. Just take care of yourself and let your body heal itself.
