So happy to hear how much better you feel, and how much better your life is! Thanks for sharing.

If anyone has any doubts about getting a transplant, please, please reconsider. It has changed my life and the lives of all the people I love so much for the better.

I couldn't agree more!

So glad things are going so well for you.  It really is an amazing feeling to have one's life back after dialysis and I had actually forgotten what it felt like to be properly healthy when I had my transplant.  I wish you all the best Vandie and many many more years of renal bliss.
