Journal entry by Christy Otte —
Hello everyone!
I realized it has been a bit since I have updates you all with Rocky’s post transplant journey.
It’s been 6 months since he was blessed with a new beginning. He is doing very very well! He is back to “pre sickness “ weight! He loves that he can have the foods he once loved and was restricted from. His doctors seem surprised at his healthy weight gain. To be fair, they only knew him and the thin, sick, Rocky. He is looking forward to being on the baseball field again with the boys. He hasn’t missed a basketball game or tournament and loves doing so without restrictions. He would tell you he is feeling perfect!
He is working on some projects, building up his strength and stamina to be able to work full time again in the field he once loved and was a machine at.
It is truly amazing what a difference one healthy kidney can do for a person. Never take your health for granted and always listen to your body….don’t push off the warning signs. They trigger for a reason.
Thank you all once again for the continued support and love. We ALL feel it and appreciate you all more than you know!
