- Karen, since so many peole have seen the "Poem" do you think it would be illegal for me to copy it & use it for a cover, for my letters? It would be almost as good as a banner, flying from 1,000,000 rooftops! Isn't it wonderful to be part of such a large group of like minded people?! Hugs & Blessings, Paula

Maxene (Mike's wife) said… - I tried the link to the group. Link doesn't work. I'm going to try and google it, but frankly I'm going to turn in the towel. He can take care of things by himself. I'm not going to stand for this crap he's giving me any longer. When I refuse to help him, we'll see how quickly he changes his tune. I feel used.

- This is all too confusing. I'm out of here. Good luck to all of you. I asked a question and did not receive an answer. Is there a group for spouses or caregivers. I am totally having an anxiety attack here because I am the pro-active one here and my husband is leaving it all up to me. He is acting like this is no big deal. I'm concerned about the physical issues and well as financial, and I don't know that I'll be able to get through this. On top of that, this website is the pits. It is all too confusing, not user friendly. Thank you but I'm not coming back.

- Thank you for your bday greeting. I am working hard to help others find living donors. If you know anyone who needs assistance, please refer them to me. I am also program director for Community Action Marin's Kidney Education in San Rafael. There is so much ignorance of transplant options and people die needlessly. Together can change this.

Herbert Maldonado said… - Hey Karen, thanks for the welcome. Hope all is well. I was wondering if maybe you had any information on this protection I was looking to buy. The Doctor gave me the ok to play soccer again which I'm very excited to do being that it was my favorite thing to do before I got sick and I haven't played in over a year now. So I was wondering if maybe you knew somewhere I will might be able to find a Kidney Protection Belt, The ones I have came across are for the rear Kidney's but I need the one for the new one located in the front. If you have any information on where I can get one PLEASE let me know, that will be great!, I have been searching for almost 2 weeks and still was not able to get lucky and my doctor is not sure where I can get one either, although he did say if I have no luck looking for one then let me him know next appointment and he will see what he can do.
Thanks for the Welcome again Karen. =) Have a great day.

When I talked to one of my doctors about it, he emphasized that the main drug was in the generic, but problems seemed arise sometimes from reactions to how it is packaged which can be different from the brand name of Prograf. He says he has had to c…
