Oh hey. I just finished my 2nd week back in the office. Commuting 3 days into the city and working from home with @Reesesthedog1 as my assistant 2x a week. I still have to go in for labs a little more frequently as we get my Tacro levels stable. Too high = Toxic vs Too low = Risk for Rejection

FUN.

3 Weeks post surgery

March 20, 2019 by Gisela Delgado

Just about 3 weeks post transplant. Wow. How did that happen. I have been having flashbacks of hospital time. I was so drugged in the hospital on top of recovering from the anesthesia. And my last night in the hospital was really the worst.

3 Kidneys

So it happened. I woke up and now I have 3 Kidneys. Want to know how I got this kidney? Who gave it to me. Too bad…you’ll have to wait for the #KIDNEYFORGISELADOCUMENTARY to come out.

It’s the SILENCE that’s a real heart breaker. When someone is asking all the questions but not really sharing with you how they feel about being a living donor. I know living donation sounds scary.

Optimistic. Hopeful. Determined.

Someone asked me this past week “How do you get a kidney?” and more specifically “How do you ASK for a kidney?” The answer is quite frankly - I don’t know….yet.

Life by the Numbers

2018 is going to be about controlling the controllable. I just had my check up and no big surprise but my kidney function in still declining. Slowly. Like real slow.
