Saturday clinic

Odd going into the hospital this morning - Boxing Day clinic moved to the Saturday, which seems fair enough! Was nice to see all the ladies I was on the ward with before Christmas - all seem to be doing well apart from one who's still having issues with swelling. All the kidneys are working though, which is brilliant.

I'm a little worried as my cyclosporin level is apparently too high, and my cret has jumped back up to 125 from 108, with GFR dropping from 51 to 45 :-/ They've said they're gonna leave things as they are til I see the doctor next Wednesday though. Guess I'll just have to trust them. I can't get the Renal results website to work so I can't see what the results from today are yet.

I'm sure it's all fine, but you can't help being concerned. Every little ache and pain sets an alarm ringint at the moment; I used to know my own body intimately, every little signal about what I needed or didn't need. But they've all changed now and I'm having to learn new ones every day. My body shape is different, my heart rate, blood pressure, everything. It's a bit scary but also very interesting. So amazing that this works - I'm taking the whole thing in my stride, but at the same time completely floored by the whole experience.
