arkessianNew Year Greetings to everyone who passes by this place! May (Jan to Dec also accepted) 2022 bring you the things you want or the things you never realised you wanted.
On the subject of things needed but unwanted:
Apparently my SCA in September upped the ante... I am now (with 340 other people) on the transplant waiting list in the UK, subject to signing a consent form next week, and a drug change which shouldn't take long.
Many who are waiting (I hope all of them - sorry) are worse than me, but it's a dauntingly small group to belong to. I understand the list fills from the top with new or promoted 'super-urgent' and 'urgent' people and I'm just 'routine' so I could be called this year/some year/never unless I deteriorate and end up 'urgent' or worse.
In the meantime, I shall continue plodding along at home. If I'm called I won't say 'great!' because it comes with its own downsides due to the drugs needed afterwards (and of course the risks of surgery), but I trust the transplant team to have proposed it to extend my life expectancy (on the balance of probabilities).
Worst comes to worst, while I can, I shall be sitting at my PC complaining about not being able to do much physically -- but honestly, that's where I am now, so no change there.

Date: 2021-12-31 05:20 pm (UTC)Thanks. I'm sufficiently opinionated to tell my consultant that I'd see him in 2022. He grinned; I grinned. But it could happen!
And if it doesn't, I've had a good run.
