Skipped all of April

Pardon me. April was a bit of a bust as far as blogging is concerned. Well, I highly doubt that this blog will ever amount to much . It is here for my personal ventilations regarding dialysis. I do not keep a written or an electronic journal of any sort (aside from this). At least I know that my entries will be saved on some far off server somewhere in North America and NOT on my 5 year old Dell PC.
Which by the way for as long as we've owned it, has been a workhorse. I'm pleasantly surprised that it has lasted this long. We vacuum it every other month or use a leaf blower (I kid you not) to blast the dust out.
Today, I made a change to my run schedule. For the past month I've been skipping Friday nights and running on Saturday late mornings. I noticed that it helped tremendously with my energy level on Sundays and Mondays (days when I am most active). Usually by the time Sunday rolls around, I am groggy, tired and miserable. I won't even mention how I feel on Monday mornings. I usually have to wait the whole day (on Mondays) before I can get to the clinic anyway.
We'll see how this schedule works out. Had to procure a babysitter on the other days when DH is at work. Its nice to be able to be at home during the evenings. DH and DC are all here, and we can enjoy din-din together. I've missed it. We usually have family dinners on Thursday, Saturday and Tuesdays (if we get home early from church). But other than that one of us was always missing. Hopefully this will liven things up a bit around here.
And MIRACLE of miracles! I received my approval letter for Kidney Transplant last week!!!!! HALLELUJAH:) I'm technically on the waiting list but on a hold status. As soon as my dental is cleared and I see the Transplant surgeon, I should be getting my pager and/or cell phone...is what they're telling me. Which means, no traveling out of town for a while!!! Hey, for something like this, I think I can make the sacrifice huh?
The house is about 80% decluttered and simplified. Not that I'm worried, but not having to think about cleaning and decluttering when I'm trying to go back and forth to the hospital, will help immensely. It'll help the kids no doubt, they'll know where everything is and I won't look like a headless chicken running around trying to find, whatever needs finding.
Thank you all so much, for your prayers by the way. God hears, and He truly, really, honestly, whole-heartedley (sp?) answers!! HE REALLY DOES! I've been trying to get on the Waiting list for 6 years. Enduring this long can only mean one thing. God is Working! Please continue to keep us in your prayers. And may I ask this one thing. When you do pray, pray that God's will would be done concerning my health. I want to do whatever He leads me to do. So far, He has opened the door for transplant, and so I am going to walk through it, by faith.
FYI- Having a kidney transplant is not a cure for Kidney Failure. It is just another form of dialysis albiet it is an organ, (and for that matter, all kidneys 'dialyize'). There are risks involved for both the donor (if living) and the recipient. There are medications that can have ICKY side effects. And the cost of the medications are PHENOMENAL... However, a kidney transplant is always a better treatment option than traditional dialysis.
Okay, starting to sound like a brochure now.
