So I did my transpplant evaluation this week. Mostly it was me sitting around and waiting for 2 days. Since I am young and healthy, I didnt have to do as many tests as others have to. I met the team of doctors that will perform the surgery. Should hear the definitive yes I am approved in a couple of weeks. Then they will begin to check the now 11 people that want to see if they are a match, probably starting with family first.
Part of the evaluation was me talking with a shrink. I overanalyzed every question and every answer. When he asked what caused my kidney failure, if I knew, and I replied with what happened, I kept waiting for him to ask how does that make me feel. Gladly he didnt ask that one. Mostly, he just wants to make sure that I am not suicidial or manic depressive.
This week I have the surgery to switch types of dialysis. It takes about 3 weeks for it to heal up before I can officially switch. When it happens, I am pretty much free to eat or drink anything I want or desire. I can already taste the Cheesburger, tater tots (with ketchup), and a chocolate shake.
