Don't get too excited....it doesn't mean I'm scheduled to get a transplant. It just means that Cigna will let me when the stars align. One less thing to worry about.
Joacim's transplant coordinator called him today after their review, and his kidney function is fantastic, which is awesome news! They'd would likely take his right kidney, as his left kidney has 2 arteries and they're rather cut less than more. There is still the question of his a1c. In order to get more info, they want him to do a glucose test, which is essentially a 12-hour fasting, blood draw, drink awful glucose solution and wait 2 hours, and then blood test again. I'm not exactly sure when that'll get scheduled but hopefully soon!
Got my lab results from my appointment last Monday. Creatinine now at 4.1. I was told by a friend that, after 1.6, the rise is exponential. Still, going from 2.1 to 4.1 in a month is nerve-wracking. I feel like an eggshell.
