15 weeks post-op

I feel better but still have a lot of phlegm in my cough. I am drinking more water and taking more vitamins. I picked up some Vitamin D today with 1000 IUs. Took a couple at lunch and a couple in the evening. Same with Vitamin C. I also have a B-complex vitamin that I need to remember to take daily.

I have 2 weeks until I meet the kidney expert to review test results. I hope my ill health does not show in my blood work. I have 10 weeks until I do my final set of tests. I will be healthy again!

Then, I'll have to figure out what to do in 2011....

Still... sick as a dog

I have been sick twice since I started back to work almost 7 weeks ago. I am coughing and feel warm and my head is full of mucus. This bout has lasted 10 days!

I need to get healthy!

Blood work 3 months post-op

Thursday, September 23, 2010

A single vile of blood tests whether I'm as healthy with one kidney as I was with two. :)

My appointment with Dr. R. Richardson to discuss his review of my blood test results is Wed October, 13, 2010 @ 9:00 am at the Toronto General Hospital Renal Clinic.

At 6 months I need to complete blood tests again and a 24-hour urine test.

It's Tuesday, September 21, 2010 and I'm sick again!

It started with a headache/migraine all weekend then finally early Monday morning I resorted to taking a Tylenol 3 from my surgery. It dulled the headache and made the day tolerable.

I was feeling cold and tired last night but don't feel the need to sleep other than at night. I was never a day-time napper.

I think I am more prone to getting run-down when I get inadequate sleep. However, in the past 4 weeks I have been considerably busy. My dog got in a fight and needed surgery so that was very stressful. Work is busy busy busy. Social events, karate and referee clinics and tournaments; plus this week we have a house guest. Life is good, life is moving along. I just need to catch up!

I've said it before but it's really something I have to work on. As much as I enjoy sleep, I don't know why I don't get enough. :)
