Quite a story, and what an interesting life, Gail.

I hope and pray all will go well for you from here on in-
and was amazed to read that a transplant could last
so long.

Gail,
Just reading back through this I realized that your kidney lasted as long as Jenna has been alive (she was born in 1985.) I am so happy you've gotten another transplant.  :bandance;

And Karol I hope and trust that you know how much I wish that Jenna's kidney would give her 25 years also.  Holy Hannah, re-reading my own post really made me realize how much has happened since it was written!  And the whole thread made me wonder if I've ever unknowingly sat next to Stauff himself at the Toronto General.   :o

Gail, I am sorry to hear your transplant is failing. But, I know you can handle all of this and will do well on dialysis, until you get a new kidney. Gosh girl, you have lived a life and a half already and we do know you have treated the one you got first as if it was made of gold. Toronto sure got their moneys worth out of you!!!!Best of Luck, I will be thinking of you .

Jean, this is about her old kidney - she has a nice new one now and is doing just fine! I bumped it up because I had been reading about patients going through rejections, sorry if I caused confusion!
