transplant update

well this last set of bad news just flew by, it is becoming the regular deal around here. dialysis is becoming a way of life for me and this may be for along while. there is nothing to do but be positive and keep heading outdoors while i can. our last blood test still had a high crossmatch and we can not have a transplant. they(Mayo Clinic) are going to do one last test in two weeks. after that it is back to the drawing board. this is a link on positive crossmatch transplants and the trouble they cause. we are heading out tomorrow afternoon on another spectular weekend alaska trip to gulkana glacier.
i love my new car. the greatest feature is that is has a cassette player and a 6 CD changer. i can use the cassetter play with my ipod shuffle and it plays tunes! very simple and cheap adapter. i guess that is one benefit of an older car (2001 jetta wagon).

thanks for the article...very interesting. it helps explain the whole antibody issue to me. its gotta be a little reassuring to know that you're dealing with the best in the business.
