I’ve been waiting for a couple of months now to see if I’ll be listed as eligible for a lung transplant. I got the news this week—I’ve been approved! Yaaaay!!
Er, almost. I’ve been approved, pending (what now?)… an allergy consultation to see how allergic I really am to certain antibiotics that over the years have given me rashes or sneezing fits or whatever. Why do they care about this, of all things? It’s because a transplant means immunosuppression to prevent rejection of the new lung. And that means they need all the tools they can get to treat any infections that might come along. So, a couple more weeks, to see what the allergist says. And then, hopefully… then we can wait to see if the insurance company signs off on it. And then be listed.
So close…
