Going Home

Going home today depends entirely on my blood numbers this morning. It is almost six o'clock now so they should be coming around to drain me soon enough. If my digits have dropped then I can go home, ...

Christmas at the U

It appears that my creatinine levels are acting a bit too whacky for their own good. Before the surgery they were hold around a three. After the transplant the numbers dropped to an amazing 1.7. Does ...
