Awww kat, I hope you don't give up hun.  :cuddle;  I understand how frustrating those tests are and I swear everytime you finish the last one they call ya with just one more test they just need to do, but eventually you will do the last test and it will all be worth it.

Thanks. Next Thursday is the CT scan. Let's see if I can screw that up in some way, too.

I know, I cracked my hubby up with that comment the other day after I remarked I managed to have two tests come out inconclusive and was up for more.  Just one more step closer to that transplant list!

The latest at Kaiser today, Thursday, January 4, 2007 for Superhero Dialysis Woman
I went in for the CT scan and they handed me three bottles of barium to drink. Yummy. Nasty stuff, but I drank it down pretty fast.  The most fluid I have had in years all at once. One guy and I were comparing how much of the third bottle we were going to drink. I beat him. He gave up, but I drank the entire thing! So then I get to wait for them to call me with this crap in my belly.  Almost threw it back up, but managed to keep it down for the most part. 
Then they take me into the back area where they promptly announce they are going to start an IV on me.  I wished them luck.  The nurse was very patient with my small veins and stuck me once with a larger needle by my elbow, then went down in size to the next one. She had to warm my hand up with a hot pack and put it down to find the vein that goes sideways across my hand.Thank goodness she got this one in okay and it did not hurt like the first one did.  I have very small veins and limited access to them in the right arm as it is, so I am very protective of what I have. If they look like they are going to play "stick the patient", then I holler I want a real nurse to come stick me.  The nurse was nice about it. 
Then they took me to the CT room where the machine that looks like a donut got to eat part of me.  It is wild when they stick you through the donut machine, you think they are going to forget and stick you all the way through.  Take a breath, hold it, whrrrrrrr, breathe.  Put the IV solution into the IV over three minutes, wait three minutes, give it again, and then more pictures.  What fun!  So then it is done and the needles come out.
     Then! I get to run over to another building and do an ultrasound on my left arm because some dummy at Kaiser had double booked my appointments at three o'clock today.  So I did that.  Then, surprise the barium hit the system and oops.  I must have shit a brick tonight! (Pardon the expression.)  I was not warned that the barium would get the system very active.  The ultrasound guy almost had a surprise in his chair when we were done!  It was pretty bad for a couple of hours there.  I am feeling better now.
     Good things: 
           We were able to accomplish the CT scan. I did not screw it up!
           My insides are super cleaned out now.
           I did the ultrasound okay and the graft looks okay still.
           I am glad I did not eat today.  I would have thrown up the barium all over place if I had eaten lunch today.
           Hubby took me to dinner tonight!

So there it is.  Now I call the transplant coordinator and ask what is next.

The transplant coordinator called today and said that she is going to get all of the paper work ready to go back to the Loma Linda doctor that requested all of the tests.  I think he will take one look and send me back for more tests, but who knows.  Supposedly all of the paperwork will be gathered and sent to Loma Linda next week.  Hurry up and wait! *SIGH*   When I start to run screaming in circles, someone bring the bat and knock me down: okay?

Check one off for me!  I saw the Pulmonary doctor the other day and he says the TB meds can be stopped the end of February. He does not need to see me again, He did liver function tests on the blood and everything is fine!  Halleluia!   Check one off for me! CHECK! I wish we had a big check symbol.
