Title: I Finally Got The Letter of Confirmation of Going on "The List!" OMG!
Post by: Cordelia on November 09, 2011, 01:59:55 PM: OMG, I got the letter of confirmation in the mail today from my transplant co-ordintar, I am "officially" on "The List" awaiting a kidney transplant now! :clap; :bandance; :2thumbsup; :yahoo;

OMG, I'm so excited and yet so nervous now! LOL I'll probably jump when I hear the phone ring every time! :rofl; :rofl;

So I have to fill out a form stating phone numbers of friends/family where I can be located other than my home phone number. :P I plan to give them my cell phone number too! ;D

OMG, I'm just so excited! :bandance; :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

May your wait be a short one!!

Do keep your bags pack, as well as a list of last minute things (toiletries, phone numbers, cell phone charger, ).

I remember getting that letter, it was super exciting!! Yesterday (Nov 9) was my 1yr pancreas/kidneyversary.

Good luck!!

I'm getting my extended list of phone numbers faxed over to my hospital which is an hour's drive away, so they have it updated. Lastnight I slept with the phone by the bed ;D

I'm going to be getting a bag packed soon, too! ;D

LOL I'm giggling about the phone bill, keeping it paid, no problems there :thumbup; ;D

Your sweet, kind compliments mean so much to me, thank you all! :cuddle; :grouphug;

Congrats to you, too, Marina! :cuddle;

Post by: monrein on November 10, 2011, 01:46:14 PM: That's wonderful news and I'll now keep everything crossed that the wait won't be too long. For my first transplant I had to carry a beeper (cell phones not so common back in 1984) and missed the first call since the batteries were dead and I didn't know...waited another 5 months for the next call and that little bean worked for 23 trouble free years. I'm wanting even more for you. :grouphug;

Thanks Monrein! :cuddle; I asked about a beeper and my doctor said they're a thing of the past, I think because most people have cell phones. I asked because I knew someone who had a transplant a few years back but carried one. I am wondering now if she did not have a cell phone then. I have a cell phone so he said I wouldn't need one.

OMG, that must have been so frustrating about the batteries, how long afterwards did you find out you had missed the call? I'm so glad the one you got 5 mos later has been working great! :flower; :cheer: Congrats to you with your successful kidney! :cuddle; :cheer:

I dropped my cell phone this am down a flight of stairs, by accident and it landed hard on my cermamic tiled floor in my hallway downstairs, I was so worried it was broken and my heart went up in my throat. Turns out when I picked it up, it worked fine :rofl; I was pretty relieved :thumbup;
