Welcome Kenny! I'm so sorry to hear your transplant only lasted 8 days- that must have been a real kick in the guts. I guess that experience reminds all of us waiting for a transplant that it DOES happen and we need to be aware of that and prepare.

Anyway not to harp on about that - hoping you can get another bite of the cherry (hmm are they low potassium?  :rofl;) and things go better. In the meantime hope to see more from you as I'm sure you have a lot of experience to share with us!

Hi Kenny, and welcome to IHD.  I'm part Scot.  I'm also 49 years old.  I've never been to my homeland.  I live in the U.S. 

That sucks about losing your kidney.  I hope you are listed for another one.

Looking foreward to your posts.

I've been to Edinburgh a couple of times while I lived in the UK...lovely city.  Are you hoping to get another transplant?

Welcome to IHD.
