Title: BASSMAN and Colleen are out of surgery!!
Post by: okarol on July 22, 2010, 02:34:46 PM

You may recall these threads about their upcoming transplant: http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=19154 and http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=18875.0
Well, I just got a call that IHD member BASSMAN is busy making urine and Colleens kidney is working like a charm! Colleen is fine and Bassman is doing well, waiting to be moved to ICU for the first 24 hours.
YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

BASSMAN called and says his creatinine is now 1.2 - he feels great - has has kidney disease for so long (20 years) that he didn't realize how bad he felt until he was feeling good. He and Colleen are sore but have been walking. They will stay near the transplant hospital as BASSMAN gets his labs. So far all is going GREAT!  :yahoo;
