I think sometimes we forget that my husband has had a Transplant less than two months ago. When they look healthy, act healthy, appetite is back 110% - we just assume they are 100% and should be functioning at 100%. However, hes still on several medications that they continue to change and add to regularly trying to find a happy medium between the liver functioning and the one kidney he still has not failing-which they have not figured out yet. Unfortunately- Today I ask friends and family to just remember- this is a MAJOR operation. He did not have tonsils removed or a tooth pulled. It was/is much bigger than that and a lot harder to recover from. His platelets have dropped from 185 to 70 and they cant tell me why- they havent been able to stabilize both kidney function and liver function simultaneously. Theyve been able to stabilize one or the other- which wears him out quickly! Although hes back to work and seemingly doing better than the average person that may have gone through the same procedure (usually requiring up to 6 months to recover) we need to remember (myself included) he is still in recovery mode. He is still continuing to heal. He may not feel up to spending time on the phone or in person- like he would normally or attending his favorite concert venue with you quite yet- his feelings havent changed. He still loves and cares deeply for all of those in his life. Especially those that have been there for him during the hardest, darkest days. I suppose my rant comes from me and our weekend together. By the end of the week- he was somewhat pale and completely on E (zero energy) I feel very selfish because I wanted to spend time with him- he wanted to sleep. Up late, taking naps and in bed by 8-8:30. I think he would have gone to bed earlier, had I not been pouting. Again, when they look healthy- its almost like out of sight, out of mind when I too, need to remember that there is such thing as too much, too soon! I just pray he continues to heal and I ask for forgiveness and to be given patience and understanding while he goes through the healing process- All while trying his damnedest to provide normalcy, love and life to friends, family and loved ones. (My public apology- I love you so much)
