Life is good :)

[Guest guest]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! Just wanted to drop in and give a quick

(we'll see about that) update, 2 weeks post transplant.

As my subject reveals, I am loving life! I have this unbelievable

amount of energy (back to my fiesty self), I am eating like a pig

(pizza, oreos, cheese GALORE!), and my labs continue to look good--

creatinine was 1.2 in most current labs.

I enrolled in classes for the upcoming semester as well--so I am

starting the path to my nursing degree. I am going to kick my own

butt, but thats okay, at least its a healthy butt now!

The prednisone is a pain (I'm on 40 mg right now), but I am not

going to mope around when I am feeling this incredible.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the first day of 2004, and that this

year brings all good health and happiness that they deserve.

Amy, I'm sorry about your electrolyte upset...But I hope you enjoyed

that chocolate cake! What a wonderful idea, I might have to run up

to the store and grab some myself

Tonya, how is nursing school going? I admire how you handle

yourself and your health, when you have so much on your plate. I'm

sorry about your labs, I hope things start to look up in that

department for you.

, I enjoyed the article. How is your donor doing now, by the

way? I am glad to see that you are feeling well. I hope work

continues to go well for you.

and , are you both enjoying life too, with new kidneys? I

hope so!

Lynne, the article about your sons almost brought tears to my eyes,

and I am not a mushy person But I am so glad that Brent is doing

well, and that they have such a close bond--what a wonderful

christmas gift, indeed!

Newbies-welcome, please stay!

I think I must have eaten one too many oreos, as I looked back on my

post and it's quite...silly, I must say. Anyways, I am off now--

hope everyone is doing well!
