Who's up for a jog ??
Just a short post letting you know that I'm travelling great. Blood results are really good with only one measure out of the lot (approx 25) being just out of "normal" range. Prior to the transplant, all 25 were
out of the normal range.
Still on daily Doc appointments and tests for another couple of weeks, then all being well, drop back to 3
tests a week where I'm hopeful the middle one can be done in Bendigo.
Bring on the world !!

Welcome to the Hotel California
You can check in but you can never leave :)
What a nice surprise, I don't have to dialyse.
Well yesterday I got all of the way through the
1978 copy of "Russian Sailing Craft" that looked to
be the most interesting of the selection.
In the arvo I was blessed by a visit from Mrs. Watson,
unfortunately she brought her husband. While their
company was great, Watto's offer to run me through the
"Supply chain process" just one more time soon had me
heading back to the library picking out a National Geographic
from the 60's.....
On the topic of this blog, all is still going well,
they are just starting to monitor a couple of things
a little more closely but that is to
be expected. All good !!

Yeehah...
I got discharged today and going well.
I am now in the Medi-Hotel which is basically a place where regional
patients stay when they need to remain close to the hospital. I need to
check into the hospital every day for the next 4 weeks for tests that will
let them adjust my medications. This will see most morning"s occupied
with the afternoons free to myself.
The Medi-Hotel is on the same campus as the hospital however "Hotel"
is drawing a long bow... but it's only 4 weeks and maybe less if they get
me sorted quickly.
Looking forward to getting home at some point, even if it's only for a day.

Traveling well...
Well I'm now officially transplanted. Apart from a shocking reaction to the pain medication, all has gone really well and the new kidney is working already. My poison levels in my blood have dropped to almost normal. I'm feeling really good. It's the first time I've had a clear head in about five years.
I will stay in hospital for a few days yet then they move me over to the respite centre as I have to report back into the hospital at 10.00am every day for the next four weeks.
The world is good !

What's black, over a foot long and throbs ?
My Arm.... ;-)
Now that I have the attention of all the potty minded folks out there, just a short post to let you know that everything is on track.
I will continue with the dialysis today and tomorrow and be admitted for the surgery tomorrow evening.
Wish me luck...
