Good news yesterday from the Transplant Team -- they agreed that my name should be placed on the Michigan Kidney Waiting List. That will happen in the next 5-10 days, as soon as my initial lab work is completed. Now I have a bunch of other tests and stuff to get ready:
1. Evaluation with the transplant dietician
2. Chest X-ray
3. EKG
4. A second round of blood/tissue typing
5. Make sure my gynecologist sends them my last exam report and mammogram results
6. A report from my dentist.
7. A colonoscopy
8. And probably a hepatitis B vaccine
So I'm going to be a busy little girl for the next few weeks. I'm really trying to get back into regular exercise. I worked out two nights last week on our treadmill and bike, and this morning I did one of my step aerobics tapes. I haven't done one of those in almost a year, so it really kicked my butt. I used to have more cardo strength and endurance; will be working on building that back again.
Thank you all for your prayers. I can tell they are helping, especially in keeping my spirits up.
