Dark days...

Just returned from my final transplant evaluation and feel less then optimistic. It seems like recently I have had good days and bad days, but more good then bad as of late until today. I heard a lot of doom and gloom during my consults today, which has once again led me to that dark place psychologically. Basically, my hopes of a speedy transplant was dashed with the disclosure that the swap program would not likely yield a potential donor in my situation since the general population on recipients on the list are O blood types as well. This leaves me with zero options on the horizon and that the mercy of the national transplant list.

On a positive note, dialysis seems to be an effective method of treatment. My followup appointment at the center was good...lab test showed significant improvements.
