You are all such nice people. This is a family, and we have grown even closer as we get to know one and other. I continue to get a little better as the days go by. Mostly weakness in the core of my midsection but that is where i was opened up. Just to let you know when a kidney is transplanted it does not go in your lower back but rather in your groin because they want good blood flow going directly to it. They actually use your abdominal aorta and a large vein. And that is why i have an incession from the right side of my abdomen to the other side of my abdomen. So it is a healing process that requires me to do a lot of physical exercises. I have been going outside with my walker and someone always watching me because if i fall then it will be very bad and set me back. Every day i try to walk just a little more then the day before and it makes me out of breath so i stop and rest for a minute or so then keep on going. The whole trick to this is to put your mind into a stage of knowing the more you walk or do any exercise the better your going to feel once your finished and take a rest. I also have a physical therapist that comes here and we do even more exercise, so it is really helping me to recover but it is a slow process 18's to everyone Marty Thanks for the update. Nothing like getting outside for a bit to Nature to help lift your spirit.
