Rosemary,
I am in a lot of pain compared to the original transplant. They were able to cut through the scar tissue and find the artery. They cut through the artery, removed the kinked section and attached back to straighten it out. I have had two ultrasounds and both show the artery is completely open. I think I will stay around a few more days in Phoenix before heading back to Colorado to be on the safe side.

@livertrex did they staple you back up over the original incision? I found this the most uncomfortable part and the pain at times terrible but it subsides. If they re-stapled you when do you get those removed? That's when things start to get better. (I found anyway).
