robert is three years post transplant!!!!!!!!! we are so lucky for this miracle in our lives. to think how down trodden we felt three years ago and how we were worn down with his dializing 3 times a week. to see your husband with no energy to participate in his own life. to be alive but dying a little bit each day. to see him watch others on dialysis; whocome walking then with a walker then in a wheelchair, then not come anymore because they've died, to see his fears. of this possibly being his near future, of never getting a second chance on a life he could live and enjoy, to see him unable to work 5 days a week but only able to work 3, to see him @ church once a month on a good month because he was so ill that he could'nt attend, and to see him give up on caring if his blood sugars were too high or too low. it was a dark place in our family's life I don't ever want to visit. we were brought closer together but we lived a life on edge with fear in our hearts without really admitting we were afraid. so I'm so glad that for three years we have lived. now he can work 5 days aweek, he can play with and enjoy his kids, he has an interest in living his life again. this is one of the greatest blessings we are enjoying.
