me and my donor Joyce
« on: February 19, 2008, 12:46:02 PM »
Update:
 
Just a quick note to let you know that I have bad news.   Transplant has been cancelled. 

My insurance does not cover Covenant in Lubbock. If my primary insurance doesn't cover it, then neither will Medicare (I was under the impression that Medicare WOULD cover it if my primary didn't). Now we will have to go through Baylor because I am already listed with them. My insurance person is going to stay on Baylor and so are Joyce and I so we can move the process along quickly. We are hoping that they will accept the tests that Covenant did, and do whatever other tests they need to do maybe it will be a little quicker.



I just got the call!!!  I have to be there on the 25th with Joyce, my donor, so they can do a final crossmatch.  We will both be admitted on the 26th in the morning and I will dialyse for the last time (praise God!!!)... then transplant on the 27th!!!

 :yahoo; I am sooooo excited! :yahoo;

That is very awesome news.   :bandance;

Let your surgeon know there will be a roomful of people with you that day - he may want to accommodate by having a larger surgical suite for you.
