It's me! Just got out of the hospital this afternoon. I ended up getting the Chief of Transplant for my surgery, how awesome is that!! Things went really well. I didn't suffer very much and Baylor ICU rocks. The surgery from what I hear lasted about 2 1/2 hours. I was in ICU for one full day then went up to my normal room. With me taking steriods now, I have to give myself insulin shots because my blood sugar is running high. They think this will go away after a couple of weeks.
The day before my surgery my creatinine was 6.9. A couple of hours after the surgery it had dropped to 5.5 and by the next morning it was down to 3.1. As of today its at 1.4!! My surgery site is still really sore but I feel great. Thanks for everybody's support!!
