Ha, that rhymes! Well, another week has flown by… So, I met the Transplant Team last week– I met the Financial Coordinator where I learned how much I am responsible for that insurance doesn’t pay; I also learned how expensive the anti-rejection drugs are post surgery that I have to take the rest of my

Well, I had another great dialysis adventure over the weekend. I was celebrating a friend’s birthday- I brought my dialysis stuff with me.

I broke down and took Tylenol PM to get some solid sleep last night. Oh it was so good to sleep almost 12 hours without any interruptions! Still have sore throat. The headaches are gone, now in place of that, I have a fever, yay! I decided to call Frenchie to find out what I

Well, so I didn’t get to sleep when I finished my email/blog this morning. I was awake until after 3:30 a.m.! What the heck? I still had the chest pains and tried to ignore them, somehow they went away; however, God gave me a sore throat and headache instead of the chest pains. Okay, fine,
