I got an e-mail from my potential donor this evening. (I hope I'm not jinxing this whole thing by not being too overly optimistic--although, I'm trying to have enough optimism to not wish it away completely).
He says he just got tested, and we'll know in about 2 or 3 weeks if we're a good match. (that's for a transplant, of course)
Let me check my calendar. Damn! The surgery to put a graft in my arm is going to be in about 2 weeks, I think. (28-14=14...yup...2 weeks from Wednesday) So, I guess I won't be able to avoid that after all. I am NOT looking forward to being a "one-arm wonder", but it could be worse, I presume. Damn! I'm NOT going to be looking forward to having needles in my arm three days a week for almost the whole day.
Not only that, but I had kind of a rough night tonight. Somehow, I feel slightly dejected. I'll get over it, as usual. But, for now, I feel dejected....and flirty too. What a hell of a combination! It's been a long time since anyone appreciated my flirtiness. More on that later.
Hugs to ya--till next time. :-)

More good news--to a point
I almost forgot. More good news--to a point.
Well, first of all, we didn't get snowed in. That's a plus, I'd say. And, we didn't get snowed out either. I was able to get back in the driveway.
The other thing is, I got my appetite back today. Now, I'm not sure how long it'll stay, but at least I won't starve, per se. To a point, I'm glad for that.
Just wanted to add that on.
And, I'll let you know what else is going on as I find out for sure.
Keep strong--for me.
Thanks for reading!

Good news--I think
First of all, the fact that I got in for dialysis today was good news, as I have my appointment with the surgeon tomorrow.
But second of all, I went through the whole treatment without a splitting headache afterwards. To me, that seems almost like a miracle, as I flew out of the house without taking Excedrin Migraine beforehand. So, the fact that I'm holding up this well is absolutely amazing. I feel slightly fragile, though, so I'll make this a short one.
Just wanted to keep my blog updated.
