yep, recieved a transplant on April 17th, 2001. I treated myself to a visit to cabellas on the 16th, my first time there, but now that I've started college, Owatonna is on the way from school to home, and I can pretty much stop in whenever. My aunt donated a kidney to me. I guess I'm lucky in the fact that my kidney's aren't diseased, so they expect the transplant to last a long time with no problems, and I don't have to worry about disease attacking the new kidney, I guess I'll always be known from now on as the freak with 3 kidneys. I've never been at the mayo clinic, but if they're rooms are decorated anything like HCMC's rooms are, bring your sister a poster or something to entertain the eyes, cause the rooms were completely beige, and no amout of the TV, or reading kept me from going INSANE from lack of visual stimulation. There was no stimulation there, except some of the nurses.[:D]
