@tjdog 😊
Wow, you have years of transplant experience, for sure!
Twenty five years from your first kidney is a wonderful run...(Maybe I am panicking prematurely.)
Thank you so much for telling me about your experience with fluctuating creatinine levels tj.
I need your counsel about something else... After all these years, what is your secret for staying resilient, calm and emotionally stable through each transplant challenge? How do you stay calm and steady through it all?

I think some friends and family would question my emotional stability 😀. Seriously though, I think it’s helped to know since I was 17, that kidney failure was in my future. My family has Alport Syndrome. I had my first transplant at 42 and both of my nephews needed kidney transplants in their early 40’s. They’re both doing well.
When it’s not a shock, I think it’s easier to cope with.
