Hi Alysia,

Thanks for asking how I'm doing.

I've had quite a few blood tests that have been well out of range, but everything now seems to be heading in the right direction.
I'm walking further and quicker each day. Stir in quite a bit of discomfort, but nothing too bad except for the occasional sharp pain (mostly getting out of bed).
I'm passing around 3.5 - 4 litres of fluid/day, so kidney is working well and all the numbers associated with my kidney have been great from the start.

My main concern (except for the stent removal, due in a couple of weeks) is my vision. Before surgery my eye sight was excellent. Then around 5 days post transplant I was struggling to fill in my fluid balance chart as it was very blurry. Since then my near sight is very poor. The last couple of days I've noticed my longer vision is slightly worse also.
I saw the eye specialist at the hospital yesterday. He did scans and had a good look in my eyes. He could not see anything wrong in my eyes. He had me read the chart at distance and whereas I previously could read the bottom line, I could only read the third line up.
He said that, for my age, my eyesight is normal and suggested I just buy a pair of reading glasses. In his opinion it is just age related vision loss. I totally disagreed with this and he said that because of everything I've been through with surgery that I'm probably being over sensitive to everything and just hadn't previously realised how my eyesight was deteriorating. I think this is crazy, I now struggle to read which is something I couldn't have just not realised before the surgery, I read every night in bed.
I'm not sure what to do. I believe that physically my eye looks good, so think that if someone else has a look they won't be able to make a different diagnosis.
