Fabulous story!  I read it really, really fast, as that's the way I felt it was going through her brain and out her mouth (through her hands, of course). 

I couldn't be happier for you and your cats!

went to the clinic on monday...my creatine was 1.8!!!!!!!!!!!! wow what a number. Amazing. Today has been a roller coaster kind of day...i went out tonite to go food shopping, and what an adventure...lol. i didn't realize food shopping could be so fun. The things we take for granted. Every moment is special no matter what you are doing. at times i feeling like  the walls of my apt as i am so sick of looking at them. And by the way...pple need to teach children better manners..actually there are plenty of adults who need a lesson in manners. Didn't anyone ever tell them that it is not right to stare.  i also got to go to the bookstore and load up on my books...which is great since there is nothing on tv...800 channels and still nothing lol. and i swear if i watch another 'judge something" show i am gonna scream. I still have some pain and need to remind myself to slow down at times as i feel like i am ready to face the world straight on. I go in on nov 21st for surgery to take out my PD cath...i am gonna miss that little guy...lol. it has been part of me for so long. gonna be strange when it comes out as i'm so careful about it now and no pulling on it and such. i was reading pples stories about their cath sites and i thank god that mine didn't come out. My doctors are so pleased at my recovery and how well i am doing. Sorry my thoughts are all over the place tonight. Thanks again for all your thoughts as they help tremendously. Have a great day/nite and take care.

Your progress gives us all hope for those of us still waiting that we, too, can have a fantastic transplant and recovery!!

Hope the pain eases soon...

and you know the kids and people are staring because you're so glowing with energy and happiness now they, like the chick in "when Harry met Sally" want "what she's having" !!!! They're jealous!!!

hmmm question...i go in on oct 21st to have the pd clath removed and to have the stent they used in the transplant removed. This may be a dumb question but that means that the scar that is finally healing will have to be oppened up again to take the stent out right? Am worried about it. Also has anyone had a pd cath removed, i know i have to go under but do they open me up to take it out or just kind of pull? The cath i know is in deep in me in my adbomen. Silly questions and i know that i shouldnt be so worried esp since i have already been through the major surgery. Will this procedure put me back a bit as i will have to recover from being opened again?

Jenna's stent was removed using a small instrument that was inserted through the urethra. There's was a little tug and it was out. She was uncomfortable for about 3 minutes total, and said it wasn't too bad. She was awake the whole time.
