I was very scared to have my kidney removed. That was in Oct ‘22. I had no other health issues and was relatively fit 63 year old female. I was pretty much in bed the first week but pushed myself to get up and move about my house as much as I could. Mine also was done by robotics but still had. 5-6” incision to get kidney out!
After about 4 weeks, I was walking straight and doing a lot of routine tasks…I pray your surgery goes as well as mine did. Things do change so it’s best to take it a day at a time:)

Counting the days. Unless something changes I will have radical nephrectomy for RCC on January 12. I have been working out 4-5 days a week, but I have been an “exerciser” my entire adult life. If you are new to exercise than begin slowly. Do not overdo any exercise. I do not worry for myself. If something were to happen to me I will not even know. However, I worry constantly about my family and their future. Blessings.
