Kidney Transplant #2

On 7/7/07 (what a lucky day), I had my second kidney transplant operation. The first one, on 9/30/05 had lots of trouble from the start. I had severe rejection just three days after surgery and the kidney lasted hardly a year.
On 7/5/07, I got a phone call from a nurse transplant coordinator at the University of Colorado Hospital and she said that there was a kidney available. She said it was a perfect match (called a zero-antigen mismatch in fancy medical lingo) and stated that I needed to be ready to come to the hospital at a moments notice. The next day, I went to the hospital and at around 8am on the morning of the 7th, I had the surgery. It went down without a hitch and I was in the hospital just 4 days. It's been a few weeks and I feel great! There have been no problems and I am keeping an optimistic attitude. More to come as this journey proceeds.
