2 yrs ago today I received my kidney transplant 🌸

1/13 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on my kidney transplant journey, I've come to deeply appreciate the profound impact of organ donation and the incredible support network of fellow kidney warriors. After the surgery, the recovery process was challenging but filled with hope. Daily routines shifted to include medication management, regular check-ups, and embracing a kidney-friendly lifestyle. One key aspect was maintaining a healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables but low in sodium and processed foods, which helped my body adapt. Staying hydrated and monitoring my kidney function with my healthcare team ensured early detection of any issues. Support from family, friends, and online communities like #kidneywarrior💚 provided emotional strength during tough times. Sharing experiences and advice within these communities offers invaluable comfort to new transplant recipients. If you or someone you know is undergoing a kidney transplant or considering organ donation, remember that this journey is unique but shared by many who understand the triumphs and trials. Celebrate milestones, stay informed about your health, and never underestimate the power of community.

I have kidney disease 😔
I remember the day I was diagnosed like it was yesterday. I had no clue what kidney disease, dialysis or really even what purpose your kidneys served. Tbh, with the symptoms I had I thought I had the flu, swine flu to be exact 🤣🤣🤣 (it was 2010 & swine flu was the big scare like Covid is today)
