Title: The joys of multi-listing
Post by: tigtink on November 04, 2016, 09:33:48 AM

Every month now until the transplant I have to go to my local lab and have six vials of blood drawn: two for the lab for my nephrologist and four for the three different transplant centers. Then I have to make sure they are all properly labeled and packaged, hopefully without mixing them up, then take one to the post office, one to UPS, and the other to FedEx. I'm not complaining-- I worked hard to be on these lists--but this was the first time I've had to do three and my head is spinning trying to get them all right!

If you are on hemo, ever consider the home version?   You get to draw your own tubes.

I am not on dialysis. I am hoping for a pre-emotive transplant.

Great news.  Hope it stays that way.
