They tasted horrible. For a start they smell awful. Before I even opened the packed I was feeling sick, and they are so huge. So we swapped to the medicine and that was much better. So we were both not in very long.
Some people are out even sooner.
It all depends on the recovery of the individual patient. I came home on the Saturday and for the first three months you have to go back to Guy's Hospital three times a week for blood tests to check the function of the kidney. They do this by checking your 'creatinine' which can tell you how efficient the kidney is getting rid of waste products. So every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we were expecting to be at Guy's. We therefore went up the Monday after I got home on the Saturday, had the blood tests etc, and went home.
