He met the donor

MrGee met with his prospective donor a couple of days ago. He flew up to Bloemfontein a little skeptical, but after meeting her and her husband he felt so much happier about the situation. He told me 'she seemed pretty normal.' ...... I mean what did MrGee expect her to be like?(that's funny). So far they are compatible but we've got a long road ahead of us. Our level of excitement has definitely moved up a small notch!

Early stages ... but we are all feeling quite excited!

My mom in law phoned MrGee this morning with news that a woman in their church feels led to donate her kidney to him !!!!
I will keep you posted ..........

Good bye......

Oh my greatness .... MrGee will be so glad to see the last of this heamodialysis neck catheter.




For almost 4 months MrGee has taken absolute care of this neck duct. He has had to make sure it remains dry and clean at all times. That has meant no swimming, showering or excessive sweating from a spinning session! Three things MrGee LOVES to do. But it looks like this catheter will be removed within the next week. Wahooo!

What the heck!

MrGee has every right not to look impressed ..................... This is the result when a nurse puts the dialysis needle into a vein and, negligently, out through the other side of that same vein! Initially this botch-up gave MrGee a huge lump on his forearm near his fistula. A few days later .... the lump reduced in size but the underneath of his arm bruised up badly. The Doc was furious with the nurse and threatened to report her!
