One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity. Albert Schweitser
I would like to apologize to my faithful readers for taking so long with these blogs, I have decided to do them monthly to get them up to date.
Dr. Rotstein's constant search for whatever has been making my liver counts so high, sent me for a abdominal cat-scan on Nov 8/11.
On November 10/11 my next appointment with Dr. Rotstein, the results were in and I have a narrowing in my main artery going into my liver. They will be sending me to see a vascular surgeon to have this checked. At 6 pm I received a phone call from my Lung Transplant Coordinator to inform me that I have been taken off the list for transplant until this problem is solved (surgically I assumed)
I WAS DUMB-FOUNDED. I was focused mind and body on getting into my best personal shape so I could withstand the hardships that my body would be undertaking during and after transplant.This news sent me for a loop. I was lost. After a few days I talked with the coordinator and was told that I was to keep all my appointments and continue to go to physio three days a week. So I pasted on a smile and continued like life was normal. Such is me.
Well, you know, what they say how bad news happen in 3's. Our van broke down and it cost $615.00 to fix. Even though we don't use it a whole lot, just groceries and it's sure is nice to go for a drive to escape the city every once in awhile. Sorry, just pisses my off when something happens that wasn't in the budget. Just part of life!
