Last week, I learned that a recent ultrasound done on my gallbladder, liver, and spleen, showed that I may have a hemangioma in my liver. I wonder if that's really what showed up. I know that I have a polycystic liver...I wonder if a liver cyst could look like a hemangioma....
The results of today's MRI will tell me for sure.
I have no symptoms. I had no idea this was going on. But, having only one liver, and it's been hard enough finding a kidney donor...I really don't need any problems with liver failure at this point.
At this point, I'm kind of tired...possibly from being anemic...possibly from who-knows-what...but I wanted to touch base.
Oh, and the latest snag in getting a kidney transplant is, that...well, let me back up. I've had Medicare since May, 2008, due to End-Stage Renal Disease and being on dialysis. At first I was in Ohio, where I finally got Ohio Medicaid after having been there for almost a year. Then I came back here, to California. I'm still trying to get Medi-Cal, but here's the snag. Medi-Cal says that it's up to the Federal government to get me started with Medi-Cal, because I am receiving Social Security benefits. Social Security, on the other hand, says that it's up to the state, because Medi-Cal is a state program. They keep referring me to each other, I presume because neither wants anything to do with a high-risk patient like me. I don't know....all I know is that I need Medi-Cal before Sharp will let me get a kidney transplant...so I sure wish I could hurry things along and get it all straightened out once and for all!!!!! I am entitled to Medi-Cal benefits...again, because of End-Stage Renal Disease, and because I'm on Social Security. Plus that I'll go absolutely broke paying the part of my bills that Medicare doesn't cover.
Thanks for stopping by again!!
