Dec 21st, 2012 eh.. That'd be a cool day to get your call. Not knowing whether not just you, but your entire surgical team, family, world was waking up from that one. Maybe I should write a book about that. Hmmm... short story contest I've been contemplating here I come.
Since my last post I've been back to the transplant hospital for my one year followup since assessment. Hubby was fighting off some sort of sinus thing during that time and I felt worse for the wear myself, though I never actually caught it. All excuses aside, my numbers were "similar" but ever so slightly down enough to be mentioned. The doctor they assigned me a year and a half ago kept up his emotionless support of me continuing to wait to list, with a side mention that my other clinic tends to rush people through the process. I'm not really comfortable with the underlying tension that apparently is there between the hospitals, but I digress. I also found out that this doctor, the one I've tried so hard to know and bond with, is retiring before my next scheduled visit to him. That was a strange feeling. Being basically wished "good luck with this big journey you've hardly dipped your toes into". Next visit, should it remain 6 months away, should be very interesting...

Wow, FINALLY, another post to your blog, I had a few chuckles due to your humourous take on a few things on not such a humourous subject. Glad you are taking this all as it comes and making your decisions as you need to, we are behind you however you decide to do this...mommaxx
ReplyDeleteThat sucks that doctor is retiring, it's so hard to develop a relationship with them when you're not sure how long they're going to be there. I'd feel uncomfortable with the underlying tension too. Stay strong and here's to another 6 months off the list! :)
