More information

So here is some more information about what is going on with me right now. Most of you should know by now that I am a two time cancer survivor, but that I didn't come through unscathed. Both my hips had to be replaced, my sight and hearing have decreased, and most significantly my lungs were damaged.
Because of all these issues have to see a couple different specialist, and a few months ago my lung doc brought up the subject of lung transplantation. I was not even aware that a transplant was an option for me, but a few weeks later I had a appointment to see the transplant team.
Tomorrow I begin the one of the first steps, I'm checking into the hospital for a week (maybe two) so that they can run a whole bunch of test to get an over all assessment of my health. They need to rule out any hidden problems or health problems that might bar me from reciving a transplant. So I'm going to get scanned and scoped and poked and generally touched by strangers.
After all that is done the results will go up to Edmonton, a team of doctors will classify me and place me somewhere on the list. Then I go live in E-town for six weeks at "transplant boot camp" to get in fighting shape and learn all i can about my new life after transplantation. Some of this stuff is old news to me, i have done two other transplants (bone marrow) before, some of it is all new.

Thats it for now, depending on whether or not the hospital has internet, or if there is a place to scam wireless near by I might not update till I'm out.
