I'm finally back at home and had dinner here instead of the yucky hospital attempts at food. I'm so glad that Trish and Lee don't have to visit me there any more. I'm feeling good, no more pain and the docs no longer seem inclined to think it's my old kidney. I had another ultrasound just before being discharged and everything apparently looked good. Now, can we just pretend this little episode never happened?
I know you are happy to be home.  Now tell that old kidney to settle down. It already went into retirement, so why is it acting up now? Maybe it didn't like the new kid(ney) in town.  |

This was on Gail's Caringbridge site last night. I will pray real hard. Thinking of you and hope doctors get this resolved soon. Hi guys.You all know what this means. Gail went from feeling great on Sat to feeling somewhat bum on Sun to going to the emerg at 1.30 am on Mon.Its the same problem as before ie. a worsening pain over her old transplant.Gail was really in agony this time.They gave her morphine for the pain and she had another ultra sound at 10.30am.Dr Cole came to visit and said as before there was nothing of note on the scan.He did say however that they were going to schedule an operation to remove the old kidney.He cant understand why this old kidney which hadnt caused any problem for over 24 years would act up now.To be safe he will have another cat scan done to see if any thing pops up but it appears as of now that the operation will go ahead.I sure hope this fixes the infection as it is getting Gail down as you can imagine.I will keep every one updated on tomorrows blog.Of course the good news is that the new kidney is working better than we could have ever hoped for.This fact is important to keep in mind during these set backs.I am exhausted as getting up at 1.30 am.does not seem to agree with me and therefore am going to bed.Take care and thanks for the support. Lee |

Sorry to hear about this. I haven't been reading the Caringbridge site lately or doing as much online. I feel kinda burnt out doing anything on the computer.
Hope all goes well and that the surgery will do the trick.
