Monday, I had a quick appointment at UCSF. This is the first time my appt took just 2 hours. I was very pleased about that. As usual, I started with a blood and pee test followed up by an appointment with a nurses aide, a nurse and a nephrologist (kidney doctor). I asked my nurse Melanie about both my inability to sleep and the pain from my shopping excursion. She immediately knew my lack of sleep was directly linked to my anti-rejection meds. Melanie said my Prograff was too high and lowered the meds. Hopefully in a couple of days I will again be able to fall asleep with no problem.
She had the nephrologist come and look at my stomach. The Dr was happy to see it was not where my kidney had been placed. She thinks I just pulled a stitch and everything is ok. Its a relief to hear that my kidney is fine, but I must admit it makes me feel like a big pussy. When you hurt as bad as I did, you are SURE something major is wrong.
So for now, I am just laying low around the house..hoping to get through this week with less headaches.
