Everyone probably looks at me and see a strong woman. I am strong in so many ways, but I am secretly carrying around a body that needs strengthening. I have severe osteoporosis.
I am working with an endocrinologist to rebuild my bones. I am also going to yoga and increasing my time walking and working in my garden.
Transplant life can throw us challenges, but we are more than physically strong. We are fierce. We look at these challenges and with each other's thoughts and prayers, we fight on. We live fierce. We fight fierce. Most importantly, we love fierce. I got this.
I agree with you. I have learned that having a strong mindset is half the battle. Keep striving and you will rebuild your strength, Being patient with yourself and give yourself grace
I will say even though I mentioned several not so great side effects I have as a result of my transplant, I wouldn't trade it for dialysis in a minute. I am extremely grateful to my donor family for all the amazing opportunities this kidney has given me!
