I need to document this stuff if for no other reason than for me to be able to come back and read it once it's all over with.

Today I finished Day 2 of my transplant testing. As far as I know, I am all finished and just waiting on the stress test from W. Houston. I also need to send them the stool occults. I didn't give them to them because I had liver the day that I was supposed to give them the specimen and they didn't want you to eat any red meat for 3 days before. I'm really going to have to stay on myself about getting this specimen to them. (I"m not good about that kind of stuff espcially if any significant amount of time passes).

Overall the process was pretty painless. Everything went pretty quick. All of my appointments were right on time and didn't last very long. The hospital was very efficent. I was surprised because I never thought of or heard of St. Luke's being a good hospital. I was really surprised at how big it was and it was really nice too. It was really surprising to me because I go over there once a month for lunch. I guess it's just the part that I see that I am not all impressed with.

I'm tired. I'm anemic. I am going to try to play around with some Total or Raisin Bran to see if it can increase my iron levels. I also know that I need to go ahead and step up to the next needle size to start getting some better clearances. (If it ain't one thing it's another with dialysis).
