I Had my regular post transplant checkup a week ago. I have been off Prednisone for a 5 weeks now. All bloodwork is back to my pre complications baseline of about 200 creatinine give or take 10 ( or 2.27 ). Hemo is still a bit low around 120 ( 130 is target ) everything else is stable.
The Doc says everything looks good. I’m now at bloodwork monthly and checkup every 4 MONTHS, yes 4 Months.
Thats reassuring for sure, especially getting that news the day before we leave the country and head 1/2 way around the world for a couple weeks.
I felt mixed emotions, a bit of fear that that’s to long between appt’s and what if something goes wrong but they wouldn’t want that either and im doing monthly bloodwork so let’s look at the positive !
An added bonus is the transplant doc also signed off on my Scuba Medical Release so Im cleared to Scuba Dive again. ( the Docs a diver too so that may have helped )
