Meet the transplant Doc today

[macojoe]

Thanks everyone!
I started the dialysis on Tue after some comfussion with the hosiptal not being able to get me in monday. It was a 2 hour treatment for the first time to see how things would be. All went well!!
But there always seems to be a but! When it was time to go home the nurse was no were to be found?? I had called friend Kenny to say I was needing a ride early as I thought it was going to be a 4 hour thing. I could see Kenny parked at the door from my room. Nurse shows up and I say were you been? I need to get going. She said that it does not work that way, and walked out! I walked out to her and stated my ride was there and I was leaving, she said who said you could go home? I said my doctor, she said well there is no orders here? I said you have 5 min to find some then I am gone!! She comes to room fast with head nurse and say there are no orders and i have to wait for the doc to call, before i could leave. i said see that truck by the door? she said yes i said thats my ride I see you later and started to walk out. the head nurse said wait sign here you are leaving with out doc order, i signed and was gone!
Went to the dialysis center yesterday for my 2nd treatment, again just 2 hours as i went the day before to the hosiptal. but they never got the word i was coming, oops guess walking out messed that up! LOL
They called the doc and in 30 min i was hooked up for my treatment. it also went very well but getting hooked up was a lot more painfull, they sain at the center they use a bigger needle thats why, but the more they use the arm the easier it will get. I said amazing what we get use to!!
Felt good after and drove myself there and home. but when i got home sat in my chair i passed out in 2 min flat! my wife was a little worried cause she bareky said hi and i was gone!But fter a 3 hour nap I was awake and hungry as a bare!!
Sp its begun I will be there every Mon, Wed, Fri 11am to 3pm for now on.

Hi MJ,

try not to P-off the nurses if they will be the same ones attending you all the time ;)

So what did the doc say about a transplant?

I qwill not be seeing them nurses again, they are not at the center. Transplant is a long prosses, they did all kinds of blood work, i have to have ekg & ztress test, colonoscopy. They ck for everything ! They said they want me to be healthy for a transplant. After the test and 4 months I will go back to Boston and meet the phic nutriotion and that crap then they will recomend transplant or not according to all my stuff. after that is all done and they say yes then my brother can be tested to see if we match or go on the list. but if my brother matches and passes all the same test to say he is a healthy person then they will say yes to him. so nothing here is going to go fast!!

Sorry Gray, but I can only get online when the people next door have there router on, they seem to shut it off all the time?? I am surprised its on now!!
I still have no cable or internet and the phone was from cable so can't do dial up either. Just have the cell and I can't see it that well to go on the net with it.
Good news today was we got a local church to give us 100 gal Oil, so no more desil for awhile!!
I will try to post more as I can!

Good to hear from ya MJ ... was starting to wonder....

Does the clinic have WIFI?

a few of us regulars at maybe just $5 a head could buy a V-20.com tablet. Small price to pay to have you chained to the forum 2-4 hrs a day and 3 days a week
