Hi was wondering how you we’re doing ? I’m going to be having my kidney transplant soon .. as we had talked before about having multiple transplants .. of my liver transplant was on 1998 and now kidneys on 2019 .. I was wondering with all you have been thru how are you doing today ? I know Transplant’s don’t last forever which is sad but I feel we can make our best effort to prove that wrong ...I guess I’m quite nervous about my up coming kidney transplant.. it’s not so much the transplant I guess my biggest fear is how long is my liver going to hold out even after I get a new kidney .. I guess I’m just talking out my fears ..

@threerrr3, I want to tag @charicen, to this conversation because I don't know if she got your message. I also want to bring in 2 other members who have had a 2nd transplant.
@mnemeth318, How are you getting along since your liver transplant surgery in December? I want to introduce you to this conversation because you have received a 2nd transplant. @threerrr will be receiving her 2nd transplanted organ in 2 weeks. What was the 2nd experience like for you? Do you have any words of reassurance that you might offer to her?
@ca426 - Charlie, With your experience with kidney transplants, I am tagging you to this conversation. I hope you are doing well.

@threerrr3 There is a lot to be said about being aware of your transplant, your health, your diet, your exercise plan, and how you live your life; it's all connected. Making sure you have the best that you can out of everything goes a long ways to keeping transplanted organs going healthfully. In our monthly kidney support group we have seen people that have kidneys transplanted over 40 years ago! There's also the markers for a transplanted organ, that is how well a match the organ was to the recipient. Because this gift is coming from your sister you may have an up Point on that. Sitting here in cold California hoping that you have a successful surgery and uneventful recovery!
