I have to say that "Vandie" has been someone that I have enjoyed reading since I started in this site, ...  last weekend my hubbie and I went  away for the weekend and got a hotel, the next morning while Andrew was sleeping I decided to brush up on my IHD, and read that Vandie was on her way to the hospital and getting a kidney, I was sitting in my hotel room in Sydney NS Canada so happy for Vandie in Cali USA I could have burst!  All my best to you Vandie, you look awesome  CHEERS!!!!!! :wine; :wine; :wine;

Thanks for sharing your story vandie. I found my scar uncomfortable too, and still do sometimes, but it's not real bad. As soon as the staples come out (which was at the 2-week mark for me) it is a whole HEAP better. Just avoid tight or uncomfortable waist bands, such as jeans.

Wow, you had a zero-match kidney? It's so great to hear of this success. You go girl!  :boxing;

And so it goes. . . . . .

Went to clinic today; creat up to 2.0.  Has been slowly increasing since I was released.  I'm 16 days post transplant.

I have a UTI, most likely from Foley.  Taking antibiotics for that.   I have been feeling pretty good, was surprised my creat was up.

Cross match came back negative from last week, so that is a good thing.  Ran another one today, cross those fingers it's negative.

They stopped two bp meds; Diovan and Hydrochlorithiazide (sp).  Hopefully they were making me dry and the creat will come down.

They are concerned but on top of it, so I am concerned but not stressing.  I will know more on Thursday morning.
