Diary of a Kidney Transplant - 4

Thursday

Maff is walking about, slowly - usually clutching his sore, distended belly - but in good spirits today.

Thursday afternoon, I finally get detached from the confining tubes next to the bed. This means I can get up and walk about. At 2.30 my neck line gets taken out, just in time for me to have half an hour lying flat (as instructed by the nurse) before the PM producer calls at 3 to interview us both on our mobiles.

This gets broadcast at 5.45 - with me, Maff and Ade listening in on my phone radio.
