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!

 :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!!
