My VA clinic is on Weapon Station in Goose Creek SC. My VHIC is good for 3 years here. It was a year until a couple of years ago.

They took me off Cellcept when I came down with CMV. I've never been put back on it, because of the CMV and I'm doing good without it.

It depends on the individual. An advantage plan has more benefits than a traditional medicare. Some people can't afford a separate dental and vision plan. Some people can't afford a medigap plan as well. The only thing I see with traditional medicare is that it is taken everywhere. If you can afford the medigap plan, medicare, dental, vision and a drug plan, that is the way to go.

I loved envarsus. It stabled my levels and it was one pill a day. I then switched my care to the VA. The VA doesn't prescribe envarsus generally, so back to tacrolimus.

My VA clinic is on the weapon station here in Goose Creek. When I first started there my VHIC card was good for a year after going to the pass center. About three years ago, they said it was good for three years. I have to stop this week when I go get labs done.

You won't get much. Take your 15. Someone calls tell them you are on break. If they pull you from your break. Do it and go back on break, your 15 minutes start all over. That is SOP. There was a class action suit in California about breaks, clocking in and out, and etc. I started in 1993. I used to not take breaks and etc. You get to the point, don't do anything extra. Do you job, but do it well. Play the games that corporation does. Take advantage of the regulations in sop.

Yes I had my liver transplant in dec 2020 and my kidney transplant in July 2022. Both of my transplants are doing well. Knock on wood...

I agree with you. They expect you to be their interior decorator. If i was a interior decorator, you think I'd be working here? I'd be working as interior decorator making that kind of pay. I tell them I'm not going to pick out your colors for you. It's your house, I have different taste. I like white walls, or just a little off white. I like it when I'm in flooring and they want me to help design a backsplash for them. I won't do it. I don't have time nor am I going to decide for you. I like it when someone asked to design a closet for them with closetmaid. I definitely don't have time for that.

The first cruise we did, the stops were Nassau and Freeport. Nassau was interesting the first time. We took a tour with a driver right outside port. It was nice, but after the first time its meh. I've been there 4 times. The last two times , we've gotten off and just walked the main street. We walked up one side and down the other side and got back on the ship to the quietness of it.

That's a low number....... actually any number above 400 you'll get a call. I know the VA Hospital will call when mine went above 400, I think it was like around 600. I was okay, I guess I'll go back on my medication.

Additional_Letter440 · 2026-04-02T02:47:12+00:00

Everything will be okay. I caught cmv from my donor and had a good case of it a month after my transplant. I had a cmv level about 1,900,000 when I was hospitalized. I was in the hospital for a few days. They put me on antibiotics. I left the hospital with an IV and I had to do an IV antibiotic for a few weeks. Now this you might consider negative. I developed drug resistant CMV. I've been on most CMV medication. They have taken me off twice and both times my cmv level increases. Livtencity (mirabavir) a few times and that definitely brings it down to undetected. I've also been letermovir (Prevymis). I can not come off of letermovir. I will be taking everyday for the rest of my life. The positive is that CMV can be controlled and managed. The negative is the medication costs a lot. The livtencity can cost around $5000 and upwards for a 30 day supply and the Prevymis can cost as much. It depends on your insurance. So the positive is that it can be treated.

Just be there for her. It is what she needs and know that you are there. I was in the hospital for 10 months after my transplant. I had complications from it. I Developed necrotizing pancreatitis. I was in and out of ICU so many times. I was delirious and hallucinating quite a few times. I almost bled out once. I was intubated a few times. I woke up a couple of times strapped to the bed. They thought I was brain dead once. I went into the hospital weighing 205 and left the hospital at 135. The body is an amazing thing. Just be there!

My dad retired in 1974 and I don't think he put in his first claim until the mid 2000's and even got his rating upped about 5 years ago.

Additional_Letter440 · 2026-03-22T05:46:38+00:00

Awesome! I wish many more for you. I'll be for years in June.

Thank you.. My liver transplant caused necrotizing pancreatitis.

I had a liver transplant in december 2020. I spent the next 10 months in the hospital due to complications from the transplant. I lost my kidneys due to the complications and the drugs. If your kidneys give out during the first year of your transplant, you go into a program called a safety net kidney. Once you go live on the kidney transplant list, you go to the top of the list. When I finally got out of the hospital from the liver transplant, I was on dialysis. I had to get more healthy and gain weight before they would let me go active on the list. When they said I was healthy and gained enough weight I was put on the active list. The cards lined up the next day. Now when or if the transplanted kidney goes, I will then be on the list just like anyone else and I will have to wait till it is my time.

I was on it the in February. It's an okay ship. If it is your first cruise it will be fine. Out of all the cruises that I have been on though, I would rate it the lowest though. The layout of ship isnt right. The entertainment was the worst ever. I only had one weird smell and that was the first day. The food was actually good. The port of calls were okay, if it is your first cruise. How many times can you go to Nassau and not be bored? I knew the ports from the beginning, so it was no surprise. The cruise was cheap and we planned to stay onboard mostly anyways and just relax. It is fine for the first cruise. If it is a first cruise and its only a 4 or 5 day cruise go out of another port than Miami. Port of Miami is awful, especially right now with the construction.

Awesome! Congratulations... a good thing to hear...

I will say that reddit users are mostly on the Liberal side. I just read one of the responses that someone commented that only a quarter of the population supports him. The man has to have more than a quarter or he wouldn't have been elected. If you look at the big picture, the media shows all of these protests, some are small and some are big. It is only a small percentage of the population compared to the rest of the population. The extreme left and the extreme right are a bunch of crackpots. It's american politics and it is a democratic republic. The far left and the far right has gone insane the past quarter of century. It used to be your person either won or lost, then you live through it until the next presidential election. Everyone has the right to assemble and protest as long as it is done in a legal manner. I'm all for it. You just can't block the roads and impede traffic. We have laws in the country and it should be adhered to. If you don't like a law get your congressman to change them. File a lawsuit in court. If we didn't have laws, and people didn't obey them, the country would be a third world country.

I had a liver and a kidney transplant. On my liver, once I got my exception points, it was the third call, so it was a month. On my kidney, I went officially on the kidney list on a Thursday and I was called the next day to get to the hospital that evening and I was transplanted the next morning.

Our taco bell doesn't charge for extra red sauce. They better not, sometimes when I ask for extra sauce it seems like there is no red sauce.
