I just noticed that my blog tagline still read “Life with Dialysis (and CABG).” Initially, it was only about peritoneal dialysis since I needed somewhere to vent my struggles with the process. Along the way, I needed a quadruple heart-bypass surgery, then switched back to in-clinic hemodialysis. Having this semi-anonymous blog helped me cope with all the health issues I was dealing with.
Anyway, I did not want to delete the dialysis part since it was a huge part of my life for ~4 years. I found a website that would generate strike-through Unicode text and I replaced “with Dialysis” with “post-transplant” and left the CABG bit. I did the same for the subtitle(?) as well.
Life is definitely easier with a kidney transplant than having to rely on dialysis to stay alive, but there are still struggles. Additionally, problems like diabetes or peripheral neuropathy do not go away just because I now have a working kidney.

I still have not decided what to do with this blog and my old blog on Blogger. There is ~15 years of posts on the other blog, but lots on this WordPress blog too. I think the easiest is to make posts linking both blogs and continuing here.
