    No more dialysis

    Well for those of you who didn't know I have been on dialysis for the past 4+ years. I have also been on the transplant list nearly as long. It takes a lot of tests and evaluation just to be accepted to the list.

    This past Monday I got the call and I received a kidney. I was in the hospital until late Friday and am currently resting at home. I will not be active scraping for the next several months waiting to heal.

    This changes my life a great deal and I am very unsure what the furture will hold but it will be interesting. I may try working at a job I just have no idea at this time.



    For me scrapping has given me a purpose and reason to learn new things. Its also provided exercise that I needed to regain some of my strength and stamina lost due to kidney disease. I am thankful for this forum and the members here who have been supportive and informative. The generous sharing of information is to be commended.

    Thanks to all, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
