Yesterday, Anna had another doctor's appointment at the hospital so I decided to tag along to get out of the house for a bit. Her appointment went well and blood results confirmed her new kidney is doing great. Her phosphorus and potassium levels though are dangerously low, but she has a plan to get those levels up, so hopefully things will become more stable soon.
After we were finished at the hospital we went out for lunch and then did a little bit of holiday shopping. It was a big day for us and we pretty much crawled right into bed as soon as we got home -- and here at 12:30 the next day are still in bed, lol.
Today is the first day that Anna's mother Diane doesn't have to escort one of us to the hospital since we were released last week. We are considering catching a movie today, but we will have to see where we are energy-wise this afternoon. I'm mostly excited for the movie theatre popcorn.
Anna still has her neck catheter, we were hoping it would be removed yesterday but it sounds like she needs to be put under in order to remove it. Which makes sense, considering it was surgically implanted eight months ago. This will hopefully happen in the next week - which would be welcome for Anna as she cannot shower due to the catheter, but she cannot take a bath, due to the incisions. So the poor thing has to bathe in two to three inches of water - I can imagine that is not fun.
As for me, I'm recovering just fine. I got by in the past 24 hours with only one pain pill - I was hurting this morning, but am feeling good now. I'm just very tired.
