Rumors of my demise.....

OK, maybe there weren't actually any rumors. But I know I was MIA today. I was back in the hospital getting IV Lasix to pull extra fluid off. Getting to be a habit, I know. This time around I got a script for a new diuretic that I can use when I'm getting a little too much extra water weight. Maybe this way I can start doing this at home instead of having to spend the night(s) in the hospital. That said, the 3rd floor staff at SMC took GREAT care of me and were very nice people. I'll be back there after the transplant, so it's nice to know I'll be in good hands. Hope I'm lucky enough to see Jennifer and Heidi again for that stay.

On the transplant note, my doctor will be presenting my case at 7 a.m. this Wednesday (the 16th). Nobody can see any reason at all why I won't get the green light from the committee and be cleared for listing. Once we get their OK, I'll be on the list by the end of the week. Hopefully we're looking at a surgery inside of a year! We'll see.

All of the prayers, good thoughts and all around good vibes are felt and appreciated. It makes it that much easier to go through this with support and love from so many wonderful people. Thank you doesn't really do it, but it's all I got. From the bottom of my heart (Oh I love irony!!) thank you.
