I *THINK* (and I could have this wrong) that what we call a creatinine reading of 120 is what you would call 1.2  :-\ - can anyone confirm that I've got this correct?


120 is not 1.2 
here's a clinical unit conversion :   http://dwjay.tripod.com/conversion.html
to convert from the large numbers (i.e. 120, 130, ..1200) to the small ones, use (µmol/L) to (mg/dL)
so, 120 would be 1.4
:)

Thanks for the calculator! That works great!

Amanda is going to have her stent removed tomorrow because she has a bad infection and they think that might be the source of it. I will let her know that everyone wants to see her scar, I tried to wake her up saying "let me take a picture of your scar" and she got mad that i woke her up.  :rant;  >:D   :lol;

Here is a picture of Amanda and her new Kidney.

Gosh, how does she look so fantastic after everything she's been through so recently? *is jealous*

Stent removal is a bit yucky, but it's over with quickly. I hope it helps the infection disappear quickly.

Thanks Everyone.  :cuddle; ..... i have not been on line because i have been so tired and weak probably because of my UTI.

I was suppose to get my stent removed today but it has been rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon, i asked to be put asleep because I'm a chicken and would rather not be awake during it.  :)

My creat. has stayed steady. And "my complication" is under control.  8)

OK seeing some of you would want to see my wanted but ugly scar, its quite big and goes pretty low  :o so i will censor the picture and post it soon.

Sending you all lots of love and hugs.

Amanda

ha ha, I had to censor part of my scar photo too, when I posted it (well, "censored" in the sense that I only pulled my waistband down far enough to see the top half or so of the scar, the rest being too low).

Nobody asked me for "no censor" - I don't know whether to be glad or sad about that.  :rofl;

Goofynina was right, I do want to see the scar.  You can send the uncensored pic to my PM or just send it to me on MSN.   :clap;
