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.

@renrussie, Wow! That is great news that the biopsy results were good. Now you can relax a bit while you continue your recovery.
I am curious as to why you used the term "implant". I have only heard "transplant". Is there any difference?

As I said earlier, I love the photo. And it reminded me to share this group with you:

And here is a place where you can share your story when you are ready. Do you think that your daughter would be interested to share her story, too?
