Thank you so much Amanda for sharing where you're at and your attitude in the circumstances is admirable and impressive. I think you are wonderful. I am absolutely stoked you are back home so soon and "it" is working so well for you with things coming back to normal. A 15 minute walk would be wonderful for you so soon.. this is fantastic.. but remember to take it easy, drink lots (damn I'm envious!!) and take care of YOU and don't overdo it so quickly.
I am totally stoked things are working out for you and the way you are approaching it is fantastic...
Looking forward to pictures and more good news!!

Well my creat. is now down to 115. Which they think is great. And because of how great my match was they think its a good idea to get me off most my anti-rejection drugs within 3 months, which will also help my other complication. Things are still moving forward in the right direction. |

Is 115 good? Whats that in american blood work on creatnine? So they don't want you on ANY anti-rejection medications in 3 months?  ? I had a perfect match also, and I am on 2 anti-rejection medicines, and don't plan on ever going off them. I'm interested in hearing this. That would be great if we could be off of them... and still have our perfect match continue to work for a very long time. |
