So here my news....
the results of the tests were not very good.. beginning of a rejection and an unknown problem with the blood flow through the new kidney....... because they didn't know whats going on they had to do a second surgery to "look inside". they found a lymph node that was growing so fast that he blocked the vene of the new kidney... they sayd they never saw this before.... but removed this dirty thing. right after doing that, the kidney began to work... not very good but at least a little bit.... two days later it began fully working, also after some very strong meds against the rejection. Now I'm back at home, one week after second surgery..... have to go to toilet every hour.... =)))))))) I feel still weak but I know this will be better soon!!

thanks for all your good wishes.... !!! I'll keep you updated on my recovery... but I have to run to toilet again... sorry =)))))))))))))))))))

bye bye...
