I go for my final cross-matching and meeting with the anesthesiologist on Tuesday of next week. After that, it's all done. Did all the last tests in the last few weeks. This is a new unit, for those of you who remember that I had to change units. Originally today was going to be my transplant date.
I am going to Rogosin Institute. It's a steroid-free unit. They use thymoglobin (in hospital) then Prograf and CellCept. When possible, the prograf is later changed to Rappamune.
So, this is it. I'm super excited. It's going to my first surgery of any kind. I picked a real doozy to start with huh?
