Title: Odd question, but what thread has pictures post transplant?
Post by: Chris on March 14, 2008, 09:10:28 PM

Awhile back a couple people posted pictures post kidney transplant of their incision area after it has healed. I was wondering what thread that was under. I wanted to share it with someone who is pre transplant who is concerned about post transplant. From the way the person sounds, they are going by bad information about the transplant process on some parts about it.
Thanks.

I can't remember Chris. I know I posted a pic of my own scar, which I will put here again, for you - just as soon as I find them! They wer taken only about 5 or 6 weeks after surgery.

I searched threads that I thought  would be it, but they were not it. I remember I was chicken to post a pic of my scar when asked to post mine. But the person I am writing to is having a kidney only transplant and the incision area is different from a kidney and pancreas tx. I think a picture will calm their fears though of what they think a scar is going to look like.
Thanks cycobully

So far found the two pictures of Jenna and cycobully on page 31, but not of angela515 that I remember her posting. I did however make it to page 43 before I am calling it a night and found a post of mine I might regret " Re: ===== PICTURES OF OUR MEMBERS =====

My first day on the job at the vet didn't have that severe of a problem, but I had to get the caked on poop off and the clean the anal gland. The smell was bad, but since it was my first time doing it, I got it on my clothes and then had to get to class. That day was bad. Not as bad as having a python crap on ya though.

If there will be an IHD meeting in Chicago, then someone can take my picture, just don't ask or tell me you are taking it. "

If you don't have any luck finding it Chris, perhaps try pm'ing angela and other relevant forumers? Good luck.
