No news is good news, they say. It’s been a month since my last post, but not because of everything being well. At this point, it is only fair to write an update on the kidney story. This post is not good news, though. The continuereading tag will be just below this paragraph.
When I started writing this blog, I worried that no one would ever read it. Now I’m starting to feel a tad concerned about who does. These feelings are probably normal once you’ve posted photos of your own urine online … (My boss is perfectly computer & internet literate!)
For the sake of clarity, this is another kidney post. A lot still has to happen and I want everyone to understand that.
Let me tell you what we’ve done so far in terms of medical tests. It isn’t very much. The majority of tests are still coming and before then I have to lose weight.
Warning: This post contains full-colour images of urine.
Let me start this post by reminding everyone, including myself, there is no guarantee that anyone will receive one of my kidneys.
The first thing any transplant coordinator will tell you, is to hold your horses. Many tests are done and the final decision rests with experts who will consider the facts clinically.
The first steps have been taken. We’re hoping to kick one of my kidneys out … and Satirical Stutter will tell the story – test by test, drop by drop and stitch by stitch.
For those of you regularly reading here, this is a long and cumbersome process. A number of people, including I, are really hoping that this donation will become a reality, but there are no guarantees. Please hope/pray with us.
Where it started
This is debatable, of course. Let me try to resist the temptation of telling entire life stories.
