This week is another drawn out period of time to experience dialysis three times, but this will hopefully go smoother for I will find an end in sight. My cousin goes down to get worked up for transplant at University hospital in Cincinnati on Tuesday. It is not guaranteed that he will work, but he is a match after initial blood testing. In all likelihood he will be a viable kidney donor as his blood had no adverse reactions when mixed with mine, but he has to find out if he will be healthy enough to give. Sometimes possible donors are not healthy enough to go through with transplantation surgery, but since he is a young man odds are that there will be no problem. I am hoping to get a tentative date set or at least a ballpark estimate of when it will be done. Hopefully it's only a couple of weeks, because going through dialysis really sucks...
