Pre Transplant screening week

We got our complete schedule this morning. We (Denise) is gonna be busy this week, lots of appointments, tests, consults and meetings.
We started the day with a 20 vial blood draw. Going to test for everything, plus whatever else they can think of.

From there we talked with Dr.'s, we reviewed her medical history. How and when did this start, how did we get to here (Transplant surgery)? Hey while we are talking, lets order up a couple of urine tests, etc.

After lunch we had an EKG. Then visited with another Doctor to review her current medications, add a few new ones (High Cholesterol, calcium).

Ending this afternoon with Dialysis. She is an old pro at this Dialysis thing now. Knows the routine and lingo. Some of the Nurses remembered her from her December and January visits...
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are all equally busy. Will post more as it happens.
I may get my initial blood tests on Thursday. Guess I better start studying...
