Good stuff Lou. So far so good and good on you for trusting the decision of the medical team. I am not sure how I would react - that would be SO stressful for you to try and decide. When I think about it though I would probably say the same thing. Still, that's not the sort of thing that you need.

All the best in your recovery and getting on with LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best news I've had all week-end. Congratulations on the new kidney and I'm hoping for a quick recovery. A 5/6 match is very good.

Just a quick update....

Been home a week now and already feeling much better. Trying not to get too excited as I know its early days but my bloods today showed my creatinine has gone down to 131!!!!!! WOW - I don't think its ever been that low!  :bandance;

The other thing which I am getting excited about and keep telling all my friends (which they think is very strange) is the difference in my wee! It used to look like water when I was on dialysis and now when I go its properly yellow... like I guess wee should really look like....

Anyway I just have everthing crossed it carries on this well, but all the nurses keep warning me not to get too comfortable yet, so we'll see.

Still not doing much everyday, just reading lots and watching films but started trying to plan a trip for my 30th this summer. Am hoping to go to Paris for two nights! :yahoo; Really exciting as wasn't massively looking forward to my big bday this year! 

Love to all of you x x

Paris, France would be a nice treat for yourself when you are feeling well. Hope things heal quickly.
