Yes, unfortunately, the word is that I get to wait until next month to schedule my transplant, because I have to wait three to four weeks after the antibiotic I'm on during treatment has stopped. And they don't want to stop it yet, and I have NO idea why!!! I thought we wanted me to get my transplant NOW, BEFORE my birthday!!! If we stretch this out too long, it'll be after my birthday after all.
I need to AFFIRM!!! If I don't AFFIRM, it won't happen. I'm affirming a Cinco De Mayo transplant!!!!! I need some cooperation here, but that's what I'm shooting for!!
Look at this.
I took this with my new WebCam.
My eyes are really starting to look worn out and tired, and here's why.
See...the fluid piles up all at once, then comes off all at once. Every two days, except on weekends, the fluid comes off all at once during treatment...then has two days to pile back up...off all at once, on all at once...like a damn yo-yo!!! Humans weren't made for that kind of trauma. My eyes are tired and worn out from being puffy with fluid one minute and damn normal the next. My poor little heart is probably getting tired of all of this, too. You have NO idea, do you, how I wish I could pee again!!! I hope I make up for all lost time and then some, as soon as I get my new kidney!!! For almost a year and a half now, I've even gotten the physical sensation that I've gotta pee...but of course, I haven't been able to. I can hardly wait till I can do that again!!!
THIS is why I thought I had to get in right away to get my transplant...so I won't have to go through THIS for much longer!!!
AFFIRM, AFFIRM, AFFIRM.....
Oh, and here's another picture I took the other night, too. My hair really is longer than it was a year or so ago; but it might not be as healthy as it once was. Notice that it looks like there are all kinds of gaps between my teeth. There are NOT. For some reason, my WebCam makes it look that way, but my teeth are almost perfect!!! Just wanted to spell that out for you. Let's face it. I won't have all of my beauty back until after my transplant....but then, look out, because I will DEFINITELY be an irresistible beauty!!! ;-)
