Post renal transplant a week or two after symptoms
Posted: Sun May 09, 2021 2:08 pm
I thought Id got off pretty lightly for the first few days after transplant and even got to gp home day 5 post surgery. I had managed to do assigned number but f walks around the ward despite the ever crowded corridors.
However day 14 i really really noticed the fact that they simply cannot give transplant patients any transfusion and the resultant low red blood cell count dropped even lower. The breathlessness and sleepiness of s awful. My consultant was gping to wait for transplanted kidney to produce EPO bit she relented and let me have an EPO injection.
I guess I should have predicted this drop in energy bit naturally a perspn expects normally to feel much betyer the further away in time you are from the op. Its a pity we cant get synthetically red blood cells! Loolimg it n gogle it will be a month or two until i feel better!
Anyone well had there s nasty shock. I keep seekimg warm spots for daytime naps, just like a cat
