I’m very happy to be back home and elated to bring my sore, but healing, husband, Bob home! Bob suffers from PKD, (Polycystic Kidney Disease) although, if you knew him, he lives his life to the fullest and doesn’t appear to suffer on most days. In October of 07, I was honored to give him one of my kidneys, and due to the nature of his disease, he had to have his native kidneys removed last week. It was a dangerous and miraculous surgery, not without it’s ups and downs, but we’re back!
