Home Again
Many people said, "Hope to see you soon!" when we left UNMC on Saturday...meaning they hoped Dan got a transplant soon and returned to the hospital under happier circumstances. I hope that is true...but for the moment we are glad that he is simply feeling well.
We have unpacked and are getting back into our routine. Dan had dialysis yesterday and he's hit his target weight so they are not taking so much fluid off him (which made him tired.) He's had company and phone calls so he's been busy during the day and is tired at night.
We really dreaded and feared the kidney removal...it just seemed so final....but the goal has always been for Dan to feel well so we are still achieving that goal. An unexpected benefit of this whole experience is the support and encouragement of family and friends....for such an extended period of time. Thank you for being there for us...it has been the greatest gift of all.
