G'day Olivia and welcome! Thanks for coming out from lurking and joining our community and saying hi!

It is wonderful to hear you got a kidney, and a live donation it seems - super fantastic - that is inspirational in itself I think!

Look forward to hearing more from you - and for many, many years of healthy and wonderful life with that special gift!!!!

Thank you for the nice sentiment! :thx;  I am enjoying my transplant, on days I am not fighting a cold or nausea or diarrhea or muscle aches or joint pain or running to doc apts or blood work or arguing with insurance companies or unable to keep up with demands of life, or just plain old exhausted and overwhelmed.

Im sure u all understand that.

But yes, much better than feeling the walking dead feeling of dialysis!!!   :clap;
