Hello everyone, hope you are all managing to get your work done without me. I will be back with you as soon as I can, doctors are advising me to start work straight after half term and that seems about right to me. I'm fine, only having a little bit of pain from the main wound. Two things are stopping me from coming back to work: I get tired very easily - after these last two posts I'll probably fall asleep again! This is partly because it takes a good while for the anaesthetic to clear from my system and also because my body needs time to get used to working with only one kidney. The other problem is that the main wound won't stop leaking. This means that I can't exercise much to speed up the healing process.
I can't wait to get back to work and see you all again, not to mention start sorting out coursework and preparing for exams.
My son, who received my kidney is doing very well. He no longer needs to have dialysis and will be able to lead a full, normal life from now on if everything carries on going well.
Hope to see you all soon,
Mr W
