We're a GO for transplant on the 5th!    I know we will admit around noon time on the 4th (Tuesday) and surgery will be early morning (around 8-ish) Wednesday.

So I guess I can say..."I'll still get to pee after the 5th!"  See, luckily I've never stopped peeing.  :)   But it's quality not quantity, right guys and gals?

I have to go unload groceries from the car now.

Holy Crap.....   :puke;

My DAD:
Cirrohsis at 32 from Hepatitis C,,,,50 Liver Failure from Hep C, 52 Liver Transplant, 2000 Lymphoma from Anti Rejection Meds treated and has been fine. 
Present:  Kidney failure from Meds for the liver transplant
Hepatitis C is very very active which is damaging the liver they are worried that he may need a liver transplant to, but until he is strong enough to get the liver biopsy.  And now he is hit with blood infection that he caught in the hospital ( i feel from nurses being not gentle enough with him)....
Started Dialysis Nov 08...Just waiting to see what the miserable Hep C disease is doing to our liver before we can even think about a kidney transplant!!!! :(

Roxanne  :(
My prayers and thoughts are with everyone!!!
