Be careful what you wish for!

In the prior entry I said everything was routine and pretty much happened as expected.  It may have sounded as if I wanted a more interesting update

Well it was not expected to see blood tainted urine on Thursday night after going 5+ days without any.

Could it be my fault?  Well maybe.

I was expecting them to say the extra moving around that Yvonne did on Thursday (following my Wed night rant) could easily explain the blood.

The medical team heard of this at this morning's clinic visit and they aren't concerned.  The PA believes it is from the stent. It is not uncommon.
On a different topic... I previously mentioned the balancing act with the anti-rejection medication. Last Friday the level was low and the dose was raised from 1 to 2 mg at night. Then earlier this week it was lowered back to 1 mg. and 0.5 mg capsules were ordered so they could maybe balance it at 1.5 mg.

Cousin Kathy is on her way in for a follow up appointment. We hope the timing works so the "Kidney Kousins" could spend some time together.

I'll close by noting that yesterday when I reported that there were only 2 clicks on the blog in the entire day I was wrong.  Either stats don't update immediately or I just messed up but it seems my readership is 17 times bigger....34!
