I'm finally back to being able to take a picture every day and post it here and on my blogs. The last two weeks have been wonderful, trying, tiring, painful, happy and HEALTHY all at once. My kidney transplant was 100% successful, I had an even better outcome than the doctors expected. For those of you in the know - my creatinine went from 12 to .7 in FOUR DAYS!!! I've had a lot of ups and downs that were a result of having surgery and being in the hospital, but NOT ONE THING WRONG with my new kidney itself. Its been functioning since before they even closed my abdomen in surgery.

Today's picture is for my brother Andrew, who donated his left kidney. As I'm sure you can understand, there really aren't words enough to express how I feel... but a simple 'thank you' will have to do. By the way, he's doing GREAT and flew home to Colorado this morning. My mother will be here through at least the 4th of July to help me out (I'm not allowed to drive and I'm still in some pain so getting around is possible, but slow)

Thanks for everyone's thoughts, prayers, emails, calls and notes - the all deserve a 'thank you', too!

I've uploaded all the pictures from my hospital stay, and will get them edited, titled and described in the next few days. Once that's complete I'll make them public so you can look at things like my funky scar and my PEE heheheheh
Everyone have a great weekend!
