Donor / Recipeint Testing Results.

24 05 2009

Hi All,

Sorry for being such a Blog Slacker.   But Back to Regular Posting.  Results of the our Donor / Recipeint testing are  ”  IT’S A MATCH ! ! “.    They were Very Thorough with the DONORs Testing. The Transplant Team takes the attitude that 1) The Recipient – ME - needs the transplant, thats a given, But a Healthy Donor Does Not Need to be in surgery, So if we’re Putting a Healthy Person through Surgery We’re Checking every Damn Thing Very Closely and Investigating anything that is slightly our of the Normal.  In out Case the Donor has a Very ” Athletic ” heartbeat and Blood pressure, ie. fewer bpm than the average bear,  Yet he’s not a cardio King when it comes to fitness, just your typical Weekend Warrior with a reasonably Active Job.  So they’re checking that further. It’s not a big deal, but to be cautious they’re Looking Deeper.     If it was the Recipient they would just say he needs the surgery, its a Minor thing so Let’s  Git er Done.   So Now We Wait for a the 24 Heart Monitor test results that Donor is Doing Early June.  And Wait for a Surgery Date ! .  

Like the Chourus of the Tom Petty Song  so Elequintly puts it, :   

   ” The waiting is the hardest part,      Every day you see one more card,      You take it on faith, you take it to the heart,      The waiting is the hardest “
