Great news from yesterday's check-up

The check up in Omaha yesterday was great, I could not have wished for better news. My creatinine was down to 2.0 (normal) which indicates that the kidney has made a remarkable recovery. My doctors were amazed that the kidney could recover from the extensive damage suffered last month. I only hope that things continue to go well.

I still have a bladder infection.....the bug was resistant to the anti-biotic that I was taking, so I am now on a new one. Get this, I got 14 pills and the bill was $1023.00.....thank you Blue Cross!!!!! My strength continues to improve, in fact it is time for me to go exercise and lift weights.

Several more thank yous that I have been remiss in giving. The transplant team at UNMC is fantastic! I owe my recovery to the quick and decisive action of Dr. Stevens and Dr. Wrenshall. These two doctors are among the best transplant surgeons in the United States. They honestly care about their patients. The caring shown by the transplant team P.A.s, Residents, and Fellow was also excellent. Finally a big hug and thank you to the nurses at Clarkson and the Red Cross plasmapheresis team.
