Title: I'm on the transplant list! On Hold, but on the list :-P
Post by: MomoMcSleepy on July 31, 2012, 12:04:28 PM

I haven't had an infection since April, though I think I've chased off a few.  I have been purchasing extra catheters so I don't re-use them so often.  It took Blue Cross four months to finally say they had my doctor's note for extra catheters (limit is 60 a month), they have now begun the 30 day review of my case.  I feel bad about the waste, but I can't really argue with the results--I've been feeling pretty healthy!

Still waiting for Infectious disease specialist to sign off.  No problem waiting; I don't want to get a new kidney and take immunosuppressives if I'm getting infections, I get it.

Also have three matching living donors.  Still waiting on my brother, his doctor's office and another clinic refused to test him, so I told him to just come out by my house and we can hang after.

So how are all of you?  Long time, no time, I  have been super busy at work, but my summer project is winding down now...lazy days a'comin.
