Hello all my IHD friends.

I have had a long absence from IHD and have missed you all and missed the board and discussions. I just wanted to do a quick update on myself incase anyone missed me, although that's not likely. My transplant is still in good working order and my creatnine has been staying in range for the most part with a few little spikes here and there. My personal life is finally looking bright, I am moving out of my parents house and into my own apartment this weekend. My boyfriend will be moving down here and into the apt with me and my kids in August. I'm so excited to be back on my own again, although I am terrified as well as it has been so many years since being on my own! I'm looking forward to seeing how well I adjust to it and to see how my children do when I can parent them without interference.

Anyways, that's my update. Glad to be back!

Angela, I am very excited for you newfound freedom.  I know you have been wanting to move for a long time.  It may fill overwhelming with all there is to do when you're on your own, but you can do it.  You are strong!  Keep posting -- I see you on facebook but you have so much that you can share with new people here.  You have gone through a lot.   

Glad you posted    :2thumbsup;     :cuddle;
