Work it, Baby

img_0971

Today nurses got me out of bed. It definitely hurts where the new kidney is, which by the way sits right by my right hip bone. I was able to inch my way around the hospital wing. If I complete 12 laps by the end of my stay I will win a T-shirt.

My creatinine level went way down (from over 14 to 3.8), which means my kidney function soared from 3% to almost normal again! My nurses were gushing over how fast and how well new kidney started working.

Take a look at this. That’s liquid gold.  I know, I know.  TMI.  But my new baby kidney did all that, and I’m a proud mama.
