Well, guys, went under the knife at 8.30 Friday the 31st. (had a 6:30 check in time.) Had the kidney out and was in recover at 10:30 and out of recovery at 1:00 PM. I don't remember any thing from 7:30 AM until 1:00 PM. Any way everything went smoothly and I got to come home this afternoon (sep 3rd).

Still a little dizzy and have some minor after effects, but I am home.

Didn't get a heck of lot of sleeping done in the hospital as they were always waking me up for this or that. seems like every two hours they want something. My arms look like pin cushions form all the stints applied and all the blood taken. Doc says it went really smooth.

Can't believe I am home three days after the surgery. Chest has a line of scar and staples from the center midway up to the right side all the way down by the lower belly. I didn't even know I was in to body art (punctures and studs (staples))

Thanks for all the kind words and I'll be back with you tomorrow I think.
