However, I have dialysis in a few hours, so I will only say a few brief things for today, and write again on Friday; my next 'off day.'
December came and went without my call for transplant. I was hoping it would be otherwise, but always knew there was a possibility for the year to close out before I received my kidney. I am not so much disappointed as I am anxious to begin the next chapter in this great adventure called life. Ahh well...soon!
December whizzed by me before I knew where it went! With Christmas shopping, present wrapping, tree decorating, treat making...my time every day was just gone. I did my dialysis treatments, slept, and worked on the aforementioned list whenever I wasn't sleeping.
All in all, my Christmas was a terrific success! We enjoyed the season more than in several years past!
I am scheduled for a new walking endurance test next week. I have these about every two years, and mine is past due. The Transplant Committee likes to assure compliance, which I am only too happy to meet. IF I get my call beforehand, I can always do the test after my recovery, if it is still needed.
The weather here in my area is VERY snowy...which is potentially good for me--and any other transplant recipients, no matter the required organ. Again, it's a sad, morbid reality that bad weather is great news for any transplant patient. It means they get to move up the list. So, in that spirit...
"GO SNOWFALL, GO!"
That's all I have time for tonight.
I WILL catch up on Friday!
Good Health to All!
