Hi all,
Well as some of you know I was scheduled for my eeg test today. Well I ended up not getting it due to getting a call from my cardiologist saying that I was a backup person for a heart. This is the second call I received. He called at 4:30 am so off my parents and I zoomed to the hospital. Got there about 6:30 and I had to wait around till 12 then they told me I wasn't getting it. I think there is really no way to prepare for the real transplant when it comes. The doctors asked me how I felt and I told them well I am enjoying the nice weather and really wish for this procedure to not occur until it's cold and snowy out so I can enjoy the summer. But I must be getting closer and closer for the real thing.I know it will be a great gift but I am so scared. Yes maybe I am a scaredy cat. I guess it's difficult for me because my dad had a heart transplant, my half brother and my cousin. My cousin passed away shortly after. My half brother had a stroke before his and walks with a brace and his arm is paralyzed. My dad is doing fabulous and rides his harley. Now not only am I on the list but my aunt is also. My aunt I feel needs it more than me because she has more bad days than I do. So I am really hoping she gets her heart first. She's a different blood type so no competition there.
Somedays I cry somedays I laugh Somedays I relax and somedays I scream. My friends say Kim you always have something going on lol. Now I found out it's good I didn't have the eeg anyhow because the hospital would not take my Medicaid so now I have no idea what I am going to do. Also my car is in the shop for a clunking noise and the brakes are going. But I can walk, talk, share things and have you wonderful people and my friends and family. So thanks. I just really needed to vent.
