My kidneys...

It has been a couple of weeks since my initial testing to be a kidney donor. Since then I haven't worked out once, a couple of reasons. But mostly because I cannot work out (except for swimming) until I do my 2 24 hour urine collection test.

I started my 1st test this morning. I have to pee into a cup for 24 hours and save all my urine in a 1 gallon holder they gave me. This is kind of gross. Go get the gallon container out of the fridge, pee into the cup, then transfer it to the container. My absurd thought was that someone might mistake the container for....?? Ewww!

I will take it to the lab at Valley General Hospital tomorrow morning for analysis.

My TB test was also negative as I knew it would be. My appointment for the Transplant psychiatrist was rescheduled to June 18th.

More to follow...
