Three Months Now….... And Golfing!!

Monday marked three months for my new kidney. And Tuesday I PLAYED GOLF!! And did pretty good too! I actually pared six out of eleven holes. The course had us play the back nine, but had us start two holes earlier on number 8, so we got in an extra two holes. I won’t talk about how I did on the other five holes. They were “others”. So the overall score wasn’t anything to brag about, but I’m satisfied for my first round in months, and playing with a new kidney.

I now just see my nephrologist every quarter, and have some blood work every two weeks for monitoring. I not only have been released from the transplant center, but also from home health care. I’m really on my own now. Yes, I have a lot of medication to take daily, and I’m still fighting some gout in my foot, but otherwise, I feel GREAT!

Hopefully, I’ll get back to work soon, and back on track with a normal life.
