no worries...we all have other lives than mycorgi.com (maybe except me...i'm fortunate to have a job where i can cruise around the internet as i please) :)
Yes, his results came back, his clamp is poking into his other organs...which is normal as it's a foreign object, but supposedly, it should go away after a year and the body adjusts to it. Jake's a tall guy, and his organs are very large (which is what the surgeon said after the surgery) so, it's nothing life threatening, but the pain comes and goes. I couldn't imagine a sharp, stabbing pain in my side and know there's not much to do about it. We are looking into a small procedure to have it switched with a smaller one, but the surgery was done under his sister's insurance - MediCal (pretty much the crappiest insurance you can have...it's run by the government and she was on disability so that's why this was her insurance company) and unfortunately their view of transplant surgery, whether a donor or receipiant, is after a year, you are cured. His sister is currently in a battle with them to get her anti-rejection meds covered because they're about $1000 a month without insurance!! Can you believe it!! She'll die without them!! It's crazy, the world we live in, I tell you!
Yes, the nights are becoming sleepless...I've been watching the youtube videos of corgis playing and barking and it's funny to watch my cats look around to see where the noise is coming from. I'm excited too, because my baby kitten, Ziggy is about 1, and he sort of grew up around Jakes other sister's dog (half chihuaua, half dachsund)...she'd bring her over a lot and they would play and play and love eachother...my oldest cat, Toby, is sort of an old grumpy kitty so when Ziggy tries to hug him or play, Toby growls and bats him on the head. :( So, I think Ziggy will be happy to make a friend. It's all around such an exciting experience :)
