Treatment today was easier to handle from a physical standpoint, because cramping up of my legs was nonexistent. I guess having dry weight that is correct really helps. It was a little gloomier on the mental side of things, because the nurses tried to put a damper on things by painting a dark picture in regards to the timetable for transplantation. But they are just giving me the worst scenario possible. They think that will help me cope with unforeseen obstacles standing in my path. What they don't know is that my coping mechanism is awesome, and I'm good at leaping over hurdles, metaphorically (I ran the 400m and 200m in Jr. High track. I could not jump exceptionally high in basketball either but saw the court well and knew the nuances of the game.) I've stared down major things in my day. Ambulatory care is doing the transplant either but UC is! Their artfully painted scenes of my transplant situation, although scary, mean jack (nothing) to me. I spoke to UC on the phone… in person 8/25!!!
