Hello, this is Ken Uchikura, President of PSPINC.
Today is February 26, 2025, and it has been 26 days since my kidney transplant surgery.
I cannot say the recovery has been easy or pain-free. However, I have received so many kind messages on my blog and social media. The power of those messages has given me the strength and will to keep moving forward. The alternative is simply unthinkable.
I want to take this moment to personally thank each and every one of you.
First, I am deeply grateful to my family—my wife, my daughter, and my son-in-law. They recently welcomed their second child into the world. Due to my immune system’s condition, I have not yet been able to meet my grandchild, but I am looking forward to that special moment in about a month.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the incredible medical staff—the doctors, nurses, and everyone at Virginia Mason Medical Center—who took such great care of me.
Additionally, I want to thank everyone at Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. for their support.
I am not a particularly religious person, but I must thank God for giving me this incredible opportunity to receive a new kidney. And of course, I am deeply grateful to the donor who made this possible. Though I may not yet be well enough to express my thanks in person, I will be sure to do so through the kidney foundation when I am able.
My recovery journey is still long, but I wanted to take a moment to update you all—I am doing as well as I expected. Most importantly, I no longer need dialysis. That in itself is a miracle.
While I was undergoing dialysis, I had so many people to thank. I want to extend my appreciation to the Northwest Kidney Centers, as well as the dialysis centers in Japan, including the Shinbashi Clinic and St. Maria Clinic.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your kindness and support.
Live long, take care of yourself, and prosper.

One of the medications that I was prescribed does not agree with me at all. The medication in question is Sodium Bicarbonate, also known as Baking Soda. Unfortunately, it is causing me significant discomfort, primarily due to excessive gas buildup, which makes me feel extremely bloated and uneasy. The side effects have been persistent and bothersome, making it difficult to go about my daily routine comfortably. Given how uncomfortable this has been, I plan to discuss my symptoms with a nurse or doctor tomorrow to explore alternative options or adjustments to my treatment. Hopefully, they can provide a solution that alleviates these side effects while still addressing my medical needs.
