I've been absent for a while, mostly because nothing has been happening on the kidney-front, well not much.
In early August I had another appointment at UWMC for a nuclear medicine test. I lay on a long thin table while they injected a small amount of radioactive material into my IV. Then I had to stay still for 40 minutes while they photographed my abdominal area. Pretty cool as they could see the material filter down to my kidney's. Then you could see it make it's way into my bladder.
No ill effects from this test. And I was able to chat with the technician for the whole 40 minutes who was a very nice young woman.
This past Monday, August 23rd I got the call from the Transplant Center that I have been approved as a donor.
We set the surgery date for Wednesday, October 27th, 2010. I am very excited! But also a little curious that I'm not more worried. I feel absolutely no doubt or hesitation that what I'm doing is the right thing.
It is a good feeling!
