Just got home with my new part installed. Seems as though it is going to take some time to get back up to partial strength, like 4 to 6 weeks. Lots of pain, lots of bruising blood and other gore. Some parts of the process are truly unimaginable, I guess you just have to go through it.

There is a huge learning process. The number of new drugs, immunosuppressants, anti inflammitory, steriod this that and the other thing. Not to mention the blue ones? (wtf are those for?)

Lab tests tommorow, pharmacy and doctor appointments every other day for the next few months. I hope to get 10 years out of my new kidney. At this point, I am not sure I would do it again.

I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and hope to get back out on the water next spring , if not sooner.

See Ya
