The first thing that came to mind while watching this 13 minute lie was the Star Trek episode where they went to the Nazi planet. The gut they knew was doped up and used as a puppet. Joe even looks like the actor.

Muppy told me that a couple of weeks ago. Thank you both.

Got off the wound vac a week ago. Just put a wet ad dry gause dressing on the incision. Visiting nurse changed it last Friday and showed me how to do it myself by showing me in a mirror I held. Came Monday and had me do it myself while she watched. Was low on supplies so didn't do it myself yesterday. Went to ECMC today for the surgeon to examine it. Less than 15 minute visit. Director of the transplant center was the surgeon who examined it and changed dressing. Will now change it daily myself as the supplies came in yesterday. Go to ECMC weekly until incision full healed. Then monthly visits for blood and urine tests.

What is your drink limit before you get behind the wheel?
Wacka replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall
Thaks for letting me know what is in that. Another thing I can never have. If you have had a traspant of any type, you cannot have anything with grapefruits or pommrgranites ever again. Something in them interferes with the activation of anti-rejection meds in the liver. -

Posted this an another thread. My sister and her husband went to Europe for a cruise and got back 7/4. Spent 3 days in Rome. Saw the Colosseum and they couldn't get a taxi back to their hotel so the walked the mile or so. They stopped into a place to get a drink and were talking. A woman and her adult daughter at the next table noticed they were Americans and they were too. Asked where they were from and they find out they were from WNY too! The adult daughter is the executive chef for the staff and the payers at Highmark Stadium! -

For years it has been two at most but have at least one pop between beers. Have had at most 12 beers since 1/1/23. Docs said I could have a beer every now and then post transplant, but taking 18 different meds a day (30 pills), I don't want to mess up my heath at all. Last time I had any alcohol was 12/25/23. -

Why is KO lying about having a brain? Five days later and there is no confirmation, not even an anonymous source that KO has a brain! -

Their getting an ID from DNA in an hour or so is TV BS (like in CSI, NCIS, etc). I was a molecular biologist and the process of getting the DNA out of a tissue sample takes the good part of a day. The sequencing also takes about that long. A coupe of days for any DNA sample at the minimum. I read that his parents filed a concern about him disappearing with a gun about him at about noon Saturday. That was how the traced him so fast. -
Because of people like me. I am 5 months post kidney transplant. Two weeks ago I went to ECMC for my regularly scheduled checkup. Two days before, I started getting a stuffy nose and a cough. First thing they did was to swab my nose. Not COIVID but I did catch parainfluenza, which generally hits <5 and >65 (me). Before I even got home they called to tell me the results. They adjusted my anti-rejection meds to strengthen my immune system. Luckiy they got it early and it only lasted 5 days. Was sicker from COVID last Thanksgiving. Who knows how I got it as I did not see any sick people in any store I went to.

Dietary restrictions- nothing really just eat healthy. As of now get blood and urine tests every two weeks. If they see seething such as potassium off they tell me to eat more of certain stuff. As with any transplant recipient of any organ, have to never eat grapefruit or pomegranate again. Something in these inhibits the activation of the anti-rejection meds in the liver. Bought a 12-pack of Squirt last fall to have it one last time and remember how it tasted. Lifestyle- CKD sneaks up on you. Don't realize how much you slowed down until after the trasplant. Was taking 2 naps a day every day before. Now maybe one or two a week. Starting in April had more energy than I have had in years. Take ~30 pills a day. 15 in AM,4 during the day and 10 at night. 9 of these are anti-rejection meds. Take 3 at once. Have to take weight and temp in the AM and pulse, BP and glucose level in AM and PM. You get used to that, a small inconvenience to maintain your health. I am retired but my job is to make sure I am the healthiest I can be

Five months ago today! At this time (9AM), I was on the table in the OR. Everything is going well. Wish I knew how to change the title of this thread.
