    So I’m down to dermatologist, endocrinology & a psi test on my bladder to make sure I can hold urine once I get a new kidney. Surgeon also would like me to lose another 30 lbs.
    going from 449 to 280 isn’t enough.

    Today I got the call that all I need is my insurance to clear and I’ll be on the transplant list. My time on dialysis counts as time waiting, and with a common blood type the said to expect a call in the first 30-60 days.
    It will probably take a full 4-6 months to recover totally, but I still have my CDL….I can renew my med card after recovering…just saying.
