We got a Prius! We are flying to Vegas this weekend, making it into kind of a birthday weekend for me, to pick it up and drive it home. Julian can't wait.
We just finished a month of family visits, all of which went well.
And then the big news, which I hesitate to share... I might be put on the UNOS list for a pancreas transplant. I have some hurdles left to clear:
- the surgeons and my endocrinologist need to meet to decide to accept me as a patient (the question is whether I am sick enough, this is not likely to be an issue)
- I have to pass all of the prerequisite medical tests, like a heart stress test, echo, etc.
- My insurance has to approve it
So this is by no means a sure thing at this point. I have set up a listserv to update folks on my progress throughout this process. I will likely post updates to this website as well, however, email is easier, especially if I actually do get put on the waiting list. That way a friend just has to send mail to one address to update all y'all when the time comes. Email me if you want on it!
Also, feel free to ask questions, which I'll post answers to either here or on the listserv.
