Just got home with my new part installed. Seems as though it is going to take some time to get back up to partial strength, like 4 to 6 weeks. Lots of pain, lots of bruising blood and other gore. Some parts of the process are truly unimaginable, I guess you just have to go through it.
There is a huge learning process. The number of new drugs, immunosuppressants, anti inflammitory, steriod this that and the other thing. Not to mention the blue ones? (wtf are those for?)
Lab tests tommorow, pharmacy and doctor appointments every other day for the next few months. I hope to get 10 years out of my new kidney. At this point, I am not sure I would do it again.
I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and hope to get back out on the water next spring , if not sooner.
See Ya GutZ

Get well soon GutZ so you can get out on the sound or river. Your Tebow steelhead pose still cracks me up.

Happy to hear about it, Jeff...no matter how bad it sucks right now, it doesn't suck as bad as all the schit you went thru without it! You'll be right as rain before too long.
Fish on...

Fabulous news Gutz! Glad to have you back. Just have to power through these last hurdles so you can get back out there.

I'd had always heard that if something bleeds for a week you should just let it die and start over pretty sure that didn't have anyuthing to do with kidney surgery though. Rough night, up every hour draining this and that. Off to see the doctor this morning for lessons in being drugged, more poking and prodding. Thanks for all the encouraging words. I do appreciate it. I am sure as the process goes on, this part will seem like more and more of a distant memory (and , oh yeah!, I do have the oxycodone to help

Hey GutZ, I read on the interwebs somewhere that eating salmon is a big no-no on new body parts......I better come over and rid your freezer of the temptations. Seriously good news, hope you are back doing your voodoo soon
