Title: Transplant for Alasdair
Post by: AlasdairUK on March 16, 2008, 02:22:29 PM

Hi All,

Just wanted to share some good news, last Monday I got the call at 3am and asked to come in as they had a kidney for me. I left the hospital on Friday and so far all is working well. I go back tomorrow for my first bloods/ check up.

I had been on dialysis for three and a half years this time, for anyone else who has been on dialysis for a while, I hope your turn comes soon.
I have not been around much as I started a new job in the beginning of the tear and have been fairly busy, but will have some time off for a while.

All the best
Alasdair
