Lucky #13

When I go to the casino, I always play 13, 14, 18, 21, 25 on the Roulette Wheel... 13usually brings me luck. Maybe I will force Lolly to play tonight!! Can't get much worse?!? LOL.

I met with a nurse for the last time on Monday. It was weird. I was saying all my good-bye's and getting "good luck" "check in"... it just sounded so odd to think that I won't have to check in with them (God willing). I asked what to expect during my recovery, and they all think that I will do just fine. I will be in the hospital about a week, of course i will be sore, but other then that, she was so optimistic. That freaked me out the most!! She said I will need to get a blood draw every M W F for 3 months. Then, every M TH for like 6 months. Then, once a week for a year. Then, every month forever. She told me that I won't have to see Plumb anymore, but just the surgeons for the next few months to make sure everything is working ok. Just hearing and learning the freedom I will/might have is awesome.

The nurse did talk a lot about taking anti-rejection medication every 12 hours on the dot. She said if I miss some or any doses that the kidney might start to think, "what the F am I doing in this random body". Note to self - don't miss meds!!

There was one downer on the week... I got a well deserved speeding ticket and have to attend STOP class all day Saturday. I tried getting out of it, but I was going way fast and needed some bad luck.

Sure I will be keeping everyone up to date as I learn new stuff. I am actually paying attention to what they tell me from this point forward!!!
