Sorry to hear about the bum kidney, Mr. Bing. Best of luck w/ the surgery, and hope you have a speedy recovery. Don't give the nurses a hard time unless they deserve it.

Best of luck, Bing. In May of this year a friend of mine donated one of her kidneys to a stranger she met on Twitter. Yesterday she celebrated the woman's birthday with her. Great story.

Hey Mr. Bing... it's Tuesday and we're thinking about you. Let us know something as soon as you're able.

Thank you all for the well wishes. I had asked my daughter to post an up date but she didn't know where to put it.
The transplant was a success. The new kidney, low miles one owner, is working very well. Been up and moving since yesterday morning. The soreness is all but gone and the docs say if I keep progressing as well as I am, I should be released on Saturday.
Sad news is they said I will probably not be cleared to ride until at least 4 months from date of surgery. In Idaho that puts me off the bike until spring unless we have a warm winter. That means I can at least strip the front wheel and get it powder coated white and the foot pegs, passenger and rider, powder coated black. Some brackets made for the saddlebags and a few more things done.
I will post more, but it is time for the 5:00 under the hood check.
Thank you again for the thoughts and well wishes, they have helped immensely!

Glad it went well and you're up and moving a bit already. Here's to a speedy recovery :cheers: , but don't push it too hard. Take it easy and recover fully.
As for the beginning posts, :kewl:

My cousin was a renal (sp?) paitent, and even with no kidneys, made Sturgis, and Oshgosh every year. He planned dialisis stops all along the way, and motored right along.
Congratulations on being free again !!
