I had my stent removed on Thursday. They had it se between the kidney and the bladder to help flow during kidney infancy. The procedure was not pleasant but it was quick.
My Bloodwork continues to be good.
Hemoglobin = 10.8 on Thursday.
Creatinine = 1.7 also Thursday.
My transplant doctor (Dr. Rameriez) said that a creatinine of 1.5 is the same as 1.7 to him. Meaning, that it is all healthy and the fact that it went up a bit is normal. We expect it to continue to stay here or lower.
Speaking of Dr. Rameriez, he has a 12 year old son who loves chess. Dakota is just a little younger and loves chess also. Dakota and I met the two of them at a chess tournament in Philly yesterday. It was fun. We mostly sat and chatted while his son played. Dakota now wants to try participating in a tournament. He beat me in a game the other day.
He sends a challenge out to his Uncle Steve, probably the best chess player he knows. “Bring it on, Uncle Steve! You are going DOWN!! This July 4th at grandpa’s. Bring your nice board and set.”

The challenge has been dually noted and has been marked on the calendar (It says, “Another day, another beat down”).
Just remember, being killed by Rooks is good.
Looking forward to a good challenge. See you in a few days!
Can hardly wait to see all of you guys. Yeah!!! Wes, the numbers are great. Thank you Lord.
My bet is on Dakota……You can do it buddy….bring Uncle Steve DOWN! I would love to see you in a Chess tournament one day……I’m sure you would do well!
Wes…glad your numbers are still good. I will keep praying!!

Wes, good to hear you are doing well. This is Sam (not Phil) from CTM. Hope this new kidney will last you well!
Chess is for nerds. =(
That’s super, Wes! Continued thanks to God that your numbers are looking good.
Bakerella had her transplant from her mom on the 14th. So far, so good. She had a cadaver kidney for almost 19 years and just now got a second kidney. link to bakerella.com
Glad you are doing so well. Praying it will continue. Waiting for the chess results – who won?
