@lcamino I may have been about 135 too at my wedding, not sure but my weight was down around there. Even then I didn't tell my husband! I was overweight until starting work and then I crash dieted a lot and got down to around 120 which was too little for my frame. People thought I had been sick or something, plus I could not maintain it. So it creeped back up to @ 130 and then dating my future husband added a few pounds. My daughter who was so skinny in HS we had problems finding a prom dress small enough for her is now gaining a bit. I hope she manages to keep it where she is at, which is rounder than she had been but not bad. She doesn't get much exercise unless at a pool or the lake.

@lcamino - Lynn, You are teaching me so much about kidneys! Prior to my acute renal failure and ESRD, I took my kidneys for granite. I was ignorant about them. Even during dialysis, I was too sick to even care. (I had been flown out of ICU in KY to MN). I was not even sure why I needed the dialysis, except to keep me alive. I remember the nephrologist popping into my hospital room and saying a number...and sending me to dialysis. Then after transplant, that same doctor came into my room - And he was dancing and singing out a number, followed by 'no dialysis today'!

Lynne, one of the best things I did was to keep a diary.-sort of - It started as a ledger of my many doctor visits and procedures as a way to keep track of medical expenses and insurance claims. Then it evolved into a journal of my symptoms that I wanted to track and show to my doctors. Then while living in Gift of Life, before and after transplant it became a means to pass the time. It goes on until my eventual return home after transplant.
It is not in accurate sequence because there were procedures and the transplant surgery when I had to go back and recall and write. But I find it amazing to read. I sometimes marvel of how my husband and I did it! And, it also contains mention of my mom other priceless events that occurred at the time.

@rosemarya Journaling is such a great idea, Rosemary. Thanks for sharing that experience. Teresa

@hopeful33250, In addition, My husband kept 6 months of our email communications.. And we have copied all, and they fill 2 binders. To this day, it is still too painful for him to pick-up. On the other hand I do look at it, and read the prayers sent by so many.
