Well, it went about like I thought it would.  The Nephrologist and the surgeon are concerned about some things with me.  Since I've had 4 transplants already and they can't put one on the right side anymore they are worried the artery in my left leg might be over used.  And also said that because I've had so many abdominal surgeries and then there's all the sm. bowel blockages.  So, now I have to wait for the board to meet and make their decision. 

I went into this knowing that I would probably be able to get one and that is okay.  Then I would go ahead and switch to the NxStage machine so I could travel more.
