My wife and I are currently in a hospital room of the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI). Last Monday, December 10, 2012, she had a kidney transplantation coming from her older (and only) sister. Thankfully, everything went well. Blood tests showed her creatinine normalized just hours after the transplant and went to the lowest range possible after a full day and stayed there. The rest of the blood tests (potassium, sodium, phosphorus, etc.) were also within normal range. Her doctor said her foley catheter can be removed tomorrow (Sunday) and we can go home by Monday. Her donor sister already went home last Thursday.
There's not really much to do today except process some lab requests for the donor's checkup on Monday so she can go straight to blood extraction. So I thought starting this blog would be a good way to pass my time today and tomorrow. I really don't have much planned to write about. This is really more of a way for me to think on paper, and I might end up with a disjointed set of posts - part-diary, part-documentary. So, let's just see.
