The Big Evaluation

So Today's agenda….Its Monday not a dialysis day, yay for that :P. But I do have to see the doctor today. Its an important meeting.

Evaluation day the Doctor, transplant coordinator, and social worker; will I guess interview me, and figure out if I’m a good candidate to be put on the Transplant Waiting list…..which I’m sure I will be. No doubt, I got enough spunk and positive energy, and love, and people who are willing and ready to donate. SO who better to put on the list :P 

They evaluate people to see if they should be put on the list, because some people already have a sore attitude about their situation, and the doctors dont want to risk giving people new kidneys if they are just gona be negative about it and not take their medications and such, or some people have multiple health problems and doing this surgery is a risk, and some people are too old. So now they do evaluations of every patient. Something new that I didnt go through when I went through transplant last time.  Transplantation knowledge has grown since I was transplanted. They have so many new ways to help people get transplants. 

The active waiting list is huge 72,395.  

Not everyone has people willing to donate like I do. I have at least six people who want to be tested. Some people dont even have one. And even with the people who do have a willing donor, if you dont have a match, they have like a organ trade, where if someone else has a donor that doesnt match them but matches you and your donor matches them, you could do a donor swap, so then everyone gets what they need :) Docs are really getting smart thinking like that now, theres even a last resort process if ur donor isnt a match called desensitization, its so crazy. Well its bout that time, I gotta head out to me with the eval team :P 

Ill fill you all in later.  Much love and have a happy sunshine day, cuz indeed thats what everyday is.  <3
