My appointment with the IU doc went exceedingly well. He was very happy with my chart and does not see any medical impediments to me being a successful recipient. Now I just need the green light from the surgeon (one pound to go!) and I will be officially activated on the UNOS list with two and a half years accrued thus far.
My blood type is B, which means my wait for a kidney will be a little longer than most...maybe up to another five years or so. If, however, a living donor becomes available, I am good to go!
Today will be nothing but Netflix and stitching. I was going to cook and clean, but decided to just enjoy the day instead. Saturday will be the day for housekeeping and such...right after my Downton Day abed with coffee and the paper.
All is well, Dearies! All is well. I am peaceful, calm, and happy and looking forward to the day. How about you?
Glad you are not pushing too hard and very happy for your progress toward transplant. It is hard to be committed and consistent.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news Coni, so glad you will soon be on the list and I hope you find a living donor to match with ❤
ReplyDeleteYou’re doing a great job! I know you will keep at it.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a completely free and relaxing day or two. Enjoy. Here it is . . . wet . . . again! Which means indoor chores! On the brighter side, laundry is done - which means dusting and vacuuming. Sunshine yesterday meant cleaning the duck and chicken houses - had to dodge some heavy showers - with hail! But it's something to tick off that list for another few days! Off for breakfast now.
ReplyDeleteHave another super day and it's such good news that you are pretty much good to go. Fingers crossed re donor and compatible blood type. I won't cross my legs - I'll fall over! ;) xx
Coni, glad your appointment with the IU doctor went well. I know you enjoyed your relaxing day of coffee, tee-vee, reading and stitching!
ReplyDeleteSuccess! Your hard work has paid off. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteConi, is your blood type B positive or B negative?
