I read every message here and the emails I received at the hospital and appreciate what all has been said.
I did have jeans on when Sluff was there, helped me keep warm. Only chocolate I had was chocolate ensure and low fat chocolate malt shakes they had.
As for what happened and is happening, I'll write more later. There was no easy answer, but at least kidney is functioning normally now.
Still feel weak, but drove home which felt good and bad. It was raining, so that was bad along with the wait to get out.
Thank You All for the well wishes and thoughts.
