Procrastination

So I'm meant to be preparing a presentation for work. Hence why I'm here. :)

Creatinine has stayed down around the 127 mark, hurray. Idiot doctor last week confidently predicted it was a blip and that it'd go back up again, saying I must not have been eating properly that week. How wonderfully helpful. *lol* Thankfully he appears to have been mistaken!

In other news, the saga of side effects continues. I've got an infection in my toe, of all places - making it hard to walk as it's all swollen n painful. Hoping it's an infection rather than gout anyway! (yikes) Off to the GP on Monday morning to check it out.

And, much more sadly, I'm losing my hair a bit. :( Pulled huge clumps of it out in the shower this morning which was quite distressing - I love my hair and I'd be truly gutted if it fell out. Must bring it up at clinic next week. Stil. Given the choice between having a bit less hair on my head and loads more on my face and upper body, I'll take the first one. Feels terribly vain and ungrateful to be moaning about it.

Off to Holland for work, first time away from London really since the op. Hurrah!

Unexpected!

Creatinine's dropped to 127 - the lowest it has been since mid-January! :) F**king yay! 

Not getting over excited as it may scoot back up again next week, but I am hopeful it may be settling lower, which is great!

Still on weekly hospital visits but I've also been given permission to go on holiday to France next month so yay for that too. :)

TOP weekend of random fun. Drank rather a lot of port, which on reflection probably wasn't the best idea! But for the first time in goodness' knows how long, I was able to just head out and see where the wind took me instead of having that invisible Cinderella clock ticking and warning me that I'd be running out of energy soon and I needed to rein it in a bit. Yeah, I was tired by the time I headed home on Saturday night but so was everyone else! Really rather great to feel almost normal. Normal is good. You don't appreciate it til it's absent. 

Next challenge: going to Planet Angel on Friday. Eep. Not sure how I'm gonna feel about clubbing after a couple of years off but only one way to find out!

In other news, J and I are going out for dinner tonight. I think it's the first time we've managed to catch up just the two of us since before the transplant! Will be lovely to see her. And noodles and sake too, I'm sure. *omnomnomnom*

Kidney still not behaving properly; creatinine is hovering between 145 and 150. Doc I saw last week said that given the donor being young n female they'd prefer it to be nearer 100. But I feel good so as long as it's not going up and all the other indicators are sound, I'm not gonna worry about it too much. Have cut the steroids down a little bit too, which is great. Just wish I could stop eating so much!!
