So I heard back from my transplant coordinator and seems they have a new hoop for me to jump through now.
They want to me to take another stress test. This one on a tread mill. The stress test this past week was all chemically induced via IV. For this next test they want me to get my heart rate up to a given point in a given time and if that doesn't happen, then I need to have a heart catherazation done.
With all this fun going on...who needs Disneyland?
And.....until I get all of this behind me....I am currently on the bench.
That is...Not Transplantable.
Freakin Grrrrrrr.

Yearly Inspection
I had my yearly check-up at the transplant center yesterday complete with stress test, ekg, bloodwork, meetings with the surgeon, transplant coordinator, financial counselor and topped it off with the crème de la crème - the mental health evaluation.
Argh.
The the results of all these tests won't be in for a few days.
Dr. Yang reassured me that he had not "lost my number" when I asked why I haven't been called with a kp offer in forever, rather he cited just the lack of good organs being donated as the culprit.
He assures me that my day is on the horizon. So I guess we will see.
Seven days left to F - Day.
But who's counting?
