Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Thanks for the congrats Pierre. I am really waiting for you to tell us that you had your transplant. BTW, what is your blood type? I am so glad that you have been able to keep your wonderful positive attitude. You have been the backbone of this group. I don't know what I would have done had I not had this group when it was looking like I would not get a kidney. Though I have a fairly large supportive family, I was hungry people who know the things that I was going through. Additionally, the write ups that you and did on your dialysis experience was very helpful to me when I thought that I was going to do dialysis and then 's journal of his transplant was great for me too. If I haven't thanked you before, please know that your have a special place in my heart. Thank you. Also, I thank all of this email family. You are a special group of folks. This group is a gift to each one of us. Re: Yea!!!! It sure doesn't feel like it's been a whole year already! Congratulations.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Hi , I'm a blood type A. According to my transplant coordinator, the last time I talked to her back last September, I could be called anytime. I'm already close to the average waiting time here for my blood type, and I have no unusual antibody issues to deal with. As you may recall, I was already called in as a backup recipient this past October, just a month after she had told me that. Not a peep since though. The only contact I have with the whole transplant thing is the monthly blood work requisition that is sent down to dialysis, where they actually draw the blood. This is to keep tabs on my antigens, as I understand it. There have been a number of transplants done lately, but I guess the kidneys must not have been a match for me. I appreciate your message. Thanks. Pierre Re: Yea!!!! > > > > It sure doesn't feel like it's been a whole year already! > Congratulations. > Pierre > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hey , I am so glad you are feeling up to travel and doing so well :-) I have noticed that my travel is taking more and more of a toll on me unfortunately, and this time of the year I average two to three trips a month. It is a bit overwhelming and I am anxious for things to slow down. You give me hope for my future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi , To be honest with you, it concerns me too that I have been more tired. I am hoping that perhaps it is just my Procrit needs adjusting. I will get my labs done next week and if it is just my hematocrit has dropped again, at least it will be an easy fix! In the meantime I have been struggling to work full time. The tuition for USC is paid every August and Jan, so after Jan, I will be down to having just my daughter's senior year to take care of. Really that means I have to make it another year and a half and I am sure I can do that. Here is where my stubbornness and determination come into play. Occasionally, they are an asset :-) In a message dated 7/21/2004 5:50:09 AM Pacific Daylight Time, garymattcohen@... writes: > Thanks . It was a little weird getting back to the road.
