new year; new ideas to share with you...

Hello everybody. My healing and recuperation from the kidney transplant is moving along.

I have been focused on exercise, nutrition and following the doctors orders and suggestions from my transplant team at Strong.

I continue to be very interested in spreading the word about organ donation in general and kidney transplantation in specific.

Would you help me start this new year off on a hopegul and promising note by forwarding this message and request to anybody and everybody you could to consider being an organ donor, sign your license, and invite people to spread the word about this gift of life opportunity.

Saturday Sept.8, 2007 Meds cause insomnia!

Some of my 23 medications cause insomnia. I experienced this in full force Thursday night... did not sleep at all. Very bad. But then Friday night I was so tired I actually slept for about two 4 hour stretches! i felt rested today and now at 11:30 pm Saturday am beginning to feel sleepy. Good night everybody. Dave

clinic today: good news

Today was a clinic day... in at 6:30 for blood work to check my 23 meds I am on. Dr. Zand says I a doing quite well, and actually took out some of my staples! Also my incsion is healing well and the problem area is improving: the three hour-long airout sessions are apparently working.

Today is going well. I have my next clinic visit with the transplant team tomorrow: the big question is if my 45 plus staples are healing well wnough and the incision is dry enough to not have something done to it... I ahve been airing out for one hour , three times each day to help this process along. Ihope I do not need some "procedure" to be done... I understand that would delay my healing time... Dave

Three weeks from transplant

September 5, 2007 It is getting a little easier each day for us to move around the house. Recovery is slow, but I am getting used to my daily routine, which has about two dozen items on it,that need to be done in a certain sequence and at certain times. Please write with any comments or suggestions. Dave

Renal Recipient Network : Please Join Us

This network is designed to be a place where kidney transplant recipients and other interested people can share ideas, suggestions and support for each other as they live with their new kidneys.

I see this site as a social support network as well as an information clearinghouse.

Please join us and spread the word about organ donation, including living donors, and transplantation possibilities.

Thanks,

Dave Kleehammer
