  Hello to everyone.....  I live in Oregon   and    I am not new  but returning after a few years off  wondering what is going on in life.....LOL     

I   Live in Oregon    and    did do dialysis    and    had a transplant three years ago......    no rejection  just not the best kidney..... came with scaring  and a high creatinine level....    stable   but  High....   

So  I am checking back to see how others are doing and was wondering if they have changed much in the dialysis programs....... I was hoping for  organ growing program  but I guess that hasn't happened yet......

  HELLO    FROM       OREGON......

Hi tyefly,

I also received a kidney 3 years ago, from a live donor 29 years my senior. My kidney is now 70. My creatinine is quite high, but that is mainly due to it being permanently injured by a biopsy needle just over 3 months after surgery. My creatinine is anywhere from 3.0 -3.3. Thankfully, I feel fine and am able to live life pretty normally. How are you feeling?

I should add - I am back on the list and have been since July 31, 2013. I am currently inactive due to my kidney function being stable.

Hello, I'm DC based but my father who now lives in Anchorage is also building a cabin in Homer!  Hope you enjoy the trip.  Hopefully you'll get good clear and crisp weather so you can see some northern lights.
