So here my news....
the results of the tests were not very good.. beginning of a rejection and an unknown problem with the blood flow through the new kidney....... because they didn't know whats going on they had to do a second surgery to "look inside". they found a lymph node that was growing so fast that he blocked the vene of the new kidney... they sayd they never saw this before.... but removed this dirty thing. right after doing that, the kidney began to work... not very good but at least a little bit.... two days later it began fully working, also after some very strong meds against the rejection. Now I'm back at home, one week after second surgery..... have to go to toilet every hour.... =)))))))) I feel still weak but I know this will be better soon!!

thanks for all your good wishes.... !!! I'll keep you updated on my recovery... but I have to run to toilet again... sorry =)))))))))))))))))))

bye bye...

Alain

Hi Fellas!!!

Sorry I didn't log in to the site for a long time I know.. seems to be exactly 6months ago.. cause in 7hours I got my checkup-biopsy. I'm very nervous!! 'cause 3 months ago I had a biopsy already, and they told me that there are some facts that look like a rejection and other facts saying it's all fine. well.....
But hey - I'm still here and my kidney seems to be still alive - all blood levels are fine and I have no excuse anymore "hey, I'm not fat.. it's all water!!".. now it's bloody fat!!  ;D
So now I pray for good biopsy results!!

btw. in switzerland there is a new transplant-law. but nobody took notice about that. but now there's a big campaign with flyers and ads.. very cool!! but I still think it's not "aggressive" enough. anyway... I got at least 20 friends to carry a "donator's pass" with them since I got my tx =)

ladies and gents, I try to sleep a few hours and I promise I'll keep you updated on the results :)

have a good time!!

Alain
