New graft placed Wednesday, home from hospital Thursday. Good thrill and bruit, incisions barely tender and graft area bruised abut not sore. Slight kidney improvement continues, though this trend might be interrupted by the physiological effects of anesthesia and vascular surgery. Will know more in a week to 10 days when more labs are drawn. Meanwhile, it's a good day to live!

@kamama94, So happy to hear from you and especially that the graft placement was successful! You are a wonderful warrior and mentor for the rest of us! Gentle hugs to you for many, many more very good days ahead!

@kamama94 Glad you had the graft placed. Even though you do not need it right now, it may be available to you in the fututre. I sincerely hope that it is not needed!
My kidney function is going down, and may be starting on dialysis of some sort in 2021. Planning to be as strong as I can, for as long as I can.
