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?

I have not had to stay in the hospital; simply stay in town for frequent labs and appointments at the Clinic. We are at an extended stay hotel and walk to the Clinic. We have also taken advantage of the recent great weather snd gotten out to several local park for fresh air. I did have to go back to the hospital for 1 night for a biopsy. Results came back all good. Removing some fluid from around the transplant had creatinine heading back down.
