On December 1st I was offered a kidney after soMe complications after the actual transplant it looks to be working. Still getting back to myself but not been on here, hopefully home next week. Anybody want to give me the highlights & lowlights

A key highlight is you getting home after all that!

All the best for your recovery.   Good to know you are on the mend. Take care, though, reading some RL topics....you'll need to avoid stress for quite a while.

Assume you are still in hospital? What's the normal recovery time for a kidney transplant?

It does vary, last time I had a successful transplant I was home within 3 weeks, some people get home after 2

Today I’m off home after 4 weeks and 5 days due to the complication and the need for a second surgery

Hope you're now fully sorted, Spidey, and all the best for 2024.

After a week at home had a suspected rejection. Thankfully a high dosage regime of steroids and things getting back to normal. 15kg extra fluid on my body which needs shifting but kidney working. Don’t feel ill, just need some stamina & strength building up. Getting back to my own bed tonight, well the spare room anyway so hopefully the steroid filled insomnia will start going away. Hopefully will be right for the RL season starting

Best of luck with the continuing recuperation.
