All is well.  The labs look great with my creatinene fluctuating between 1.2 and 1.3.   :cheer:  Switching to labs once a month now.  They were happy with my work out  routine and my Weight Watchers membership.  They even approved and mani/pedi!  Zippity do da.    :bandance;

I'm so lucky!  I'm so blessed!  Had to share.  Wishing the same for ALL of my post transplant IHDers!

Wonderful and congratulations. I remember I was scared to go to once per month labs, but once I did it was quite a relief and I stayed stable. May you have many anniversaries to come.

I've never let the fact that being immunosuppressed stop me from getting pedis with my wife, I only got a manicure once, didn't last long as I had to work on the truck shortly after  :rofl;

Isn't it lovely to go to a doc and have good news? 

When I have a good report, some part of me is always thinking, "This can't be happening.  They're going to catch me on the way out and drag me back in to tell me bad news!"  I always feel like I'm escaping Alcatraz on the way back to my car.

Thanks all!  I believe this all could really work out a little more each day.

Now that you mention it Jbeany, I did pretty much run out of there today! Like if I lingered someone would say, "Just kidding.  Now come back in here for your real lab results."

 :2thumbsup;  Happy to hear you're doing so well!  Good labs always make want to ask the doc to make sure he's got the correct chart.  ;D

Enjoy the mani/pedi, you've earned them.
