Well all in all yesterday was pretty awesome. I do have a UTI, but I'm the 3rd patient with one this week, and they put me on CIPRO which seems to be working. I am down to just 3 Prednisone a day now, and only have to take one of the Phos-Nak packs a day! I hate that stuff so yay! My creatinine was at 1.48 down from 1.6! The only thing they had to say was about the calcium, which I am working on! I go back on Thursday and then I will  be going only once a week starting next week to clinic so I am happy!! I hope everyone else is doing good too!

Karen,

sounds  great!    :2thumbsup;
So  glad  you're  doing  so well!!

Unfotunately  UTIs  are  very  common  in  transplanted patien,  the  key is  to  get  diagnosed  and  treated  at  soon  as  you feel symptoms.

Stay  well!!
