There's only one who knows how long any of us will be around, but with that said I think you are right about going the transplant route. Very best of luck to ya big guy. Hope you get it and it goes perfectly.

Like Spare, I know several people that have had transplants. Two of them are well past their ten year mark. Don't ever listen to what a doctor tells you as far as longevity goes. The answers you get from them are just general statements and have nothing to do with an individual persons ability or willpower. We'll send the prayers, you just get better.

Thanks everyone!
I started the dialysis on Tue after some comfussion with the hosiptal not being able to get me in monday. It was a 2 hour treatment for the first time to see how things would be. All went well!! But there always seems to be a but! When it was time to go home the nurse was no were to be found?? I had called friend Kenny to say I was needing a ride early as I thought it was going to be a 4 hour thing. I could see Kenny parked at the door from my room. Nurse shows up and I say were you been? I need to get going. She said that it does not work that way, and walked out! I walked out to her and stated my ride was there and I was leaving, she said who said you could go home? I said my doctor, she said well there is no orders here? I said you have 5 min to find some then I am gone!! She comes to room fast with head nurse and say there are no orders and i have to wait for the doc to call, before i could leave. i said see that truck by the door? she said yes i said thats my ride I see you later and started to walk out. the head nurse said wait sign here you are leaving with out doc order, i signed and was gone! Went to the dialysis center yesterday for my 2nd treatment, again just 2 hours as i went the day before to the hosiptal. but they never got the word i was coming, oops guess walking out messed that up! LOL They called the doc and in 30 min i was hooked up for my treatment. it also went very well but getting hooked up was a lot more painfull, they sain at the center they use a bigger needle thats why, but the more they use the arm the easier it will get. I said amazing what we get use to!! Felt good after and drove myself there and home. but when i got home sat in my chair i passed out in 2 min flat! my wife was a little worried cause she bareky said hi and i was gone!But fter a 3 hour nap I was awake and hungry as a bare!! Sp its begun I will be there every Mon, Wed, Fri 11am to 3pm for now on.
