...The new one is sitting quite a bit lower than where his "old" kidneys sit. Tell him not to worry about that. At 71, a lot of my stuff is sitting quite a bit lower than it used to. Glad this worked out for him and his cousin.

Sherri - I just saw this. I'd forgotten his surgery date.
He and you have my prayers. Vicky also has my prayers, and I will ask a special blessing for one who gave so freely!
My absolute best wishes are with you both.

Mark Thank you, Mark! Things went so well for Vicki that she was discharged today. She and her husband will stay in our RV until Mark is discharged, and possibly longer, as she will need to see the surgeon and get lab work on Monday.

Any idea when they're going to transplant a conscious? Will you keep us in touch? You are definitely in my prayers there Rauncho Bozo.... When you make it to the hospital they will cease... please keep us posted... did you ever consider the fact, that YOU are in desperate need of a conscience?Naw, Guess not... YOU are too full of yourself, to possess or process a rational thought...Have a good day tomorrow... Jack ![[Linked Image]](http://www.bagofnothing.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/jack.jpg)

No need for your prayers, captain..
Just keep patrolling the local walmart, keeping everyone safe in the make-believe Shefire world.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

right,
usually the trx surgeon will position the 'new' kidney down lower into the rim of the pelvis. This will cradle the dangling and also provide shielding from impacts
thus, that dovetails back into my previous cautioning about returning to eval knieval motorcycle or super dave stuntman stuff.

Mark is being discharged from Virginia Mason. We are waiting for our ride back to the RV Park. He continues to heal well. The staff provided a good education regarding medicines, etc.
We'll be going in 3x a week to the clinic for lab work over the next 3-4 weeks so they can get his medications adjusted. He has a long road ahead, but he has a new lease on life so the miracle continues.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers! God has answered in a big way and we are so grateful.
In His loving grip,
Sherri

Sounds like everything is on schedule and running well! You should now be so tired a 2-week vacation wouldn't help. My wife had it harder than me during my TX. Prayers will continue.

Please PM me your cell number. Hi David! It's great to hear from you, and to know that Lars/Brenda are keeping you in the loop. We would love to have you over for a visit! We hope Lars and Brenda can come at some point. We have had 4 days in a row of sunny weather here in Seattle. This must be a record  Mark's sister catches her flight back to California early in the a.m. Vicki has her last appointment in the afternoon tomorrow and then they head back to Post Falls. Mark's parents are here and have their own motorhome. ~Sherri

Thank you Mark,
One of the first things we did was offer prayers of thanks to God following the surgery.
We go in for the labs and 2 appointments tomorrow so I'm going to call it a day. It's going to feel sooooo good to be in our own bed and to be able to shower again! Sponge baths help, but it's just not the same.
