In The News

A couple of weeks ago a writer for our regional paper, The Budgeteer, interviewed me about the kidney transplant. This is probably the first and last time that will be written about in the newspaper - at least in a positive way! The following is the article from duluthbudgeteer.com.

Kidney Donation w/ Pics

Hi all...our digital camera bit the dust, so we are back the old fashion photo media of film! We finally got our pictures back and thought we would share a few. Nothing to be squemish about!


BethAnn and I had to be down in Rochester the Friday before the surgery, so we had a good time without the boys. Can you tell that we're happy about the break???



I found out that they have yet to upgrade the stylish "gowns." This is day 3 after the surgery. I just came back from a long walk - I think about 50 yards! *yikes*



These were my digs for the week. It was a private room, about the size of a closet. The doctors and nurses were great! Except for that early morning catheter removal!! Wow!



The boys were glad to see me after nearly 2 weeks being away from them. They had a great time staying with Papa and Marnee!




And of course, we had to get a picture the guys and their tummies!! I think their's looks quite a bit better than dad's.

Kidney Donation

Hi all...I came through the kidney donation well. I am working on recovery now...kind of feels like I've been punched in the gut one too many times. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN is a great place! I'll post a picture of me in the hospital in the next week or so. I'm sure you can't wait. :) Thanks for your prayers and cards/calls. More soon!
