The new/used kidney is still very happy and functioning properly after four months.
The problem now is the anti-rejection drugs make me vulnerable to infections, and I just spent a week in hospital battling streptococcal pneumonia. Although I'm on oxygen at home 24/7, I'm recovering well. I taught my two fencing classes last week with an oxygen bottle trailing behind me, which made for interesting footwork.

Just short of my two-month kidney-versary, and my recovery is still going well. I have been able to discontinue two drugs, with another scheduled for next week.

A random woman saw me wearing my jacket, holding my mask and épée and she asked me where she could sign up for a 'jousting' class. She said she's always wanted to try jousting as it looked like fun.
