@rosemarya, My breathing is better,still have problems but not as bad. I went to the Mayo end of July to see about getting on the Transplant list and all my tests came back ok but I need to loose 15 pounds before they will put me on the list. Dosen't seem like much but I have been struggling with that. They also told me without a kidney transplant they give me a average of 5 years to live which was hard to hear. Also started PD which I like better then hemo. Hope all is well with you, Gina

@ginal, Good to hear from you! It sounds to me as if you got some good information from your visit.

Here is a discussion group that I want you to look at - Pre -Transplant Diet and Exercise Ideas - You are not alone with your weight loss effort before transplant. Pour yourself a cup coffee or tea, and join the conversation!
-NOTE - if you want to address a question or a comment to a certain person, just copy or type their @name (like I copied @ginal). And they will get an email notification to alert them.

Thank you for asking. I am doing fine. I continue to make taking care of me my priority. I have felt tired and lazy this week - a sign for me to get some rest. So that is what I did last week - I took it easy, and I feel ready for the upcoming week:-)
