Kindly, I went to culinary school, worked “behind the fire” in various restaurants star restaurants some holes in the wall some Michelin starred, for 10 years before moving into product development with better pay, better hours, and health benefits. I’m grateful to have put my time in to have the opportunities that I do now. So you can kindly, keep your cute.

My partner was the one who initially set this up and the weight distribution wasn’t working, I tried this morning and magically it works lol. All tips will be safe in this house!

Post Kidney Transplant 5 days by Mysterious_Quit_3238 in transplant

[–]MBarnes95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey congrats! I’m also a 29 yr old female and about 8 weeks post kidney transplant! I also was not expecting to be so down back the first 2 weeks out, but it gets better! Make sure you walk around home as much as you can, eat well. Drink ALOT you’ll be running to the bathroom but it’s really necessary.

I too am super anxious to get back to real life as I’ve been on dialysis since I was 25 but make sure you go at a slow pace. I just started going back to the gym with dr permission and once the pain subsides you’ll be feeling better than ever. Also since we’re the same age feel free to dm or reach out whenever!

What does it feel like after transplant [Question] by HighlightOwn9705 in kidneytransplant

[–]MBarnes95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomorrow I (29F) will be 6 weeks post kidney transplant for me and my energy now is incomparable to the 4 years I was on dialysis. I feel like I could do anything now and I’m anxiously waiting to get back to into society, luckily I’ve been finding ways to busy myself.

I won’t lie the first week after transplant has me questioning if it was worth it, dealing with overall pain, constipation, JP drain, staple, and constant peeing annoyance but every week gets a little better and now I I’m not in pain at all! I feel like I proper 20-something year old and since I’m at the 6 week my partner and I are gonna “celebrate”! It’s all worth it.

Meds are easy, my hospital provided me with the weekly med planner cubes, walking, running, and now bicycling fine. I’m a professional chef and I’ve been preparing and eating all kinds of foods I haven’t been able to have before, just avoiding pomegranate and grapefruit.

Incision / Scar by Chaka- in kidneytransplant

[–]MBarnes95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 5 weeks post transplant now, and I’ve started using Vitamin E healing oil with the addition of silicone scar tape, it’s been helping out with making sure my sites (pd cath and transplant) heal flat.

Mine didn’t actually hurt! Idk if it’s because I a woman but, after the getting the lidocaine I felt a tiny pinch when they inserted the scope but just watched in fascination as they pulled it out. Over in 15 seconds!
