 :bandance; I got my transplant last week and it was a total success.  :clap;  :2thumbsup;  :yahoo; The doctors are impressed at the way I took to the kidney with a high sensitivity count. They are all amazed that no complications arised and that my blood is all in normal range as a normal person. My kidney is functioning as if I had two good ones working they told me. They call me the miracle kidney recipient. I'm just so thankful to God as to how all this worked out. I believe God hand picked my donor just by how we got together and things worked out so perfectly. I'm feeling great and already losing the fluid they packed on  me. I can feel my thighs and calf muscles again. I only have my ankles to see and that should take a few more days. They packed 30lbs of fluid on me to make sure the kidney had plenty to process. I was a beached whale for a week but and almost all returned to normal size besides normal swelling after such a surgery. Wanted to let you all know I'm doing fine and don't have access to a computer as my laptop doesnt'work at my brothers. I will use his when I get the chance and post updates on my condition. As for now all is great and I hope to go home by next weekend if the doctors permit. Till then thanks for your prayers and I will keep posting as often as I can. I'll try to get to chat some night when others are there. Take care and luv you all.....Wanda
