I had a surprise the other day: "my" consultant nephrologist telephoned me at home at 5.30pm!
The purpose of his call was to tell me that, contrary to previous advice, there is nothing that needs any further tests on me. When the transplant nurse told me of the postponement, she had said that there were two things which the meeting had wanted investigated, but one of them was simply not true (presumably someone mis-read the CT scan or something). The other one was to do with my gall bladder which the transplant nurse had said was the possibility of gallstones, but the neph said it was actually the possibility of an enlarged tube. (Why do different people tell me different things?). The neph told me that he had just looked at the scan with a radiologist; they had decided that there was actually nothing out of the ordinary and so no further test is required.
So, while I consider the probability of an extended wait for the operation, at least officially I am 100% fit, provided I ignore the muscular and joint issues with my back, neck and knees. OK, so let's say that my systems are fine, it's my structure which might have a few bad signs for the future.
