I got medical clearance on Oct. 30th! Woot! Kept meaning to post, but my touchpad wasn't charging. I'm using my cell phone cord for it, charges v e r y s l o w l y.
Fresh catheter every time took care of my infection problem. I blew through my health care fund through work, though, buying the new caths. Now it's hard to afford Iron supplements, but at least insurance pays finally (cause I couldn't afford the catheters anymore).
Tomorrow, my husband is getting evaluated as a donor. All day appointment at the hospital.
Oh, and, my brother doesn't match me, but volunteered for paired donation. His Evaluation is the 21st. Sadly, I can't go with him, it's the day before t-giving, and everyone already took off from work.
my gfr is 13, still not on the D, but feeling kinda slow and like my muscles are tired, or not breathing. I have been cleaning and entertaining like a demon lately, trying to tell my husband I need rest. He gets frustrated with how quickly I get fatigued. I worked OT this weekend, and only got three hours sleep. I have still not bounced back from it, and have a really full week this week. So tired! I need a break, really!

Yay great news!
Hoping your hubby will be approved as donor and maybe you can avoid dialysis and get a pre emptive tx. My gfr was 10 for 9 mths and i was ok off it,
thinking of you X x

:yahoo; Momo - that's stupendous news! I hope your husband is a match and your wait is over soon. How cool is your brother, volunteering for a paired exchange! Tell them both they are my new heroes!
P.S. Great news about your infection problem clearing up also. :2thumbsup;

That's great news, but do try not to work too hard leading up to T-giving. Make your hubby help you out!!
