We have just returned from a Doctors appointment with the surgeon who performs the transplant surgeries. Her name is Dr. Mary Smith.
She talked to Susan and I about the challenges we are facing. My heart is one issue, but my lungs and kidneys are another.
It's possible I could end up on dialysis after the transplant and she wanted us to be aware of that. Now I have to consider if having kidney failure and dealing with that through dialysis is something I want in my life. I think the answer is yes because the alternative is not having a life.
It sounds like they will be presenting my case to the transplant board soon. She thinks this is doable but wants us aware of the downside.
