Well we met with UMC Vegas today to start the process. A Little skeptical that they only have ONE surgeon on staff. I am really gunning for UMC Tuscon to be my Hail Mary in my final hour. I meet with them on Thursday and hope to have more questions answered.
In the next 6 weeks I should have all the testing complete and be on the donor list. While I do appreciate that fact that I might be able to receive a cadaver donor I really want a living donor because the chances of a longer kidney life double.
My sister will start testing to see if she is a match but if she is not PLAN B goes into full effect for me searching quickly for another donor. Since my kidneys are failing so fast I really need to get a new one or I will have to start dialysis and not sure how I will work and pay my bills at that point.
70 degrees in Las Vegas!! If you live here there really isnt much to complain about- we are graced by good weather and plenty of vitamins from the SUN :)
OK going to give blood again!!! They are testing me weekly now to see how fast I am slipping.
