transplant evaluation news

[Guest guest]

hi

just returned from seeing my pulmododette who tells

me she has received a letter telling her that the

newcastle transplant team are arranging for me to have

the three day in-patient transplant evaluation. i am

surprised as he didnt say anything like that to me.

i thought i wouldn't see him for 3 or 6 months depending

on my deterioration. for all i know it might take 3/6

months to get me to top of list. anyhoo, i'm just glad

that i'm in the transplant works as here in the uk we cant

move from area to area - we have to take what we get.

btw, she had a very hunky trainee doctor who was actually

very warm and lovely rather egotistic like most of

them.

i dont normally take much notice of figures but she said

my diffusion was 30something but now its 24. does that

mean anything to anyone. i got to see my lungs on the

xray and we discussed another ct. i said didnt think it

worth the bother as 'nothing would change' and evaluation

is coming up. i will see her again in 2months where we

will be doing the pfts again...

oh, and she has emphasised to wear my o2 at rest too.
