Last year at the Kidney Walk I met a new friend. He had been on dialysis before receiving a transplant in 2003. He now tells the passage of time by the number of dialysis treatments that he has not taken since he got his new kidney. The last time I heard he has missed 867 dialysis treatments. How cool is that?
With every transplant there is the possibility of rejection or other difficulties. But I am chosing to not let those kinds of thoughts ruin a single day. It's just futile. After all, we can never regain the days we lose. I'm celebrating every day as a gift from God. I may even get a little wild. I suggest you beware if you see me on the highway, ESPECIALLY if a certain wild young lady is driving. Brawhahahahahah!!

Ann ~ just found your blog through Bill's review of blogs... I too have PKD and was on DaVita dialysis for almost 3 years before getting my transplant on March 9th... and getting out of the hospital on March 14th.
Good Luck to you and your new kidney!
