Woohoo!  :yahoo;

I am soooo happy to read your message.  Boatloads of pee.  Peeing like a race horse.  Whatever... It's all peefect.  You go girl!  ;D

Please give Ryan a million hugs from us when you see her.  I remember that my husband's donor felt really bad on day 2 and maybe even on day 3 due to gas pains.  The gas went right into his shoulder and hurt like hell.  I felt terrible about it, but then by day 4 he was starting to feel better and it was only uphill from there.

Hoping to see some pictures!

That's great news indeed.  Who would ever think that it would be such a blessing to be able to pee ...funny how circumstances make us appreciate the simplest things. 

I hope you continue to do well
