Looking for what to expect as I consider Kidney Transplant

An update: creatinine has creeped up. They have me back in the hospital to drain some fluid from around the kidney and do a biopsy to check for signs of rejection. It’s going to be a little longer.

@renrussie - That is a beautiful picture and I love the personalized T-shirts!
My transplant was in April 2009 at Mayo Rochester. I can understand your disappointment about an extended stay in the hospital. At least you are in a beautiful place with excellent patient care.

Are you able to walk around outside your room? I remember when my husband would push my wheelchair to the window so I could sit in the warm sunshine. I hope that the sunshine and warmer weather will be arriving soon for you to enjoy.

How are you feeling while waiting for the biopsy and results? How are you passing time?
