Well, This week I got to read the Kidney Transplant packet “What can I expect?!”, and I think this whole thing is VERY STUPID!!!!!! Now, the packet is only kinda dumb, but not as stupid as me needing another transplant. The packet put a lot into perspective for me, like what the transplant includes. The packet did annoy me a little, like it didn’t include everything that can happen. Most of what I noticed was missing is what caused my kidney issues. It’s very nice that there is a packet for the patients to read and have the transplant make sense.
I don’t remember anything from my first transplant (‘Cause I was less than 3 at the time). So it’s very intimidating to have to learn everything in such a short amount to time, and have it all make sense, AND remember it all. So, I was overwhelmed and got to take the weekend in the mountains.
