JS Begins Kidney Transplant Process
JeanieSpokane sent a link to her latest post. Which tells of a scary series of tests she faces tomorrow as she begins the process to get on kidney transplant list. I'll let her describe it: "I’ll have a marathon bloodletting at dawn, and somewhere in there I will have “tissue typing.” Along with CT scan, ultra sound, chest x-ray, another ultrasound, skin tests, echocardiogram – all in one fun day. I am only worried about the “tissue typing.” I mean – “tissue.” Is that like scraping skin off of me??? What’s the difference between skin typing and skin tests? Or are the skin tests to see what happened with the skin scrapings earlier in the day?" Please keep our fine blog friend in your thoughts and prayers/Nuts & Nonsense. More here.
