A Day of Waiting

Today was one of many, many days of waiting in the transplant process. Since I won't have a go-ahead for my own test results until Thursday and probably an overall go-ahead concerning all the participants in the transplant chain until Friday, there is not much for me to think about. Though I sent out a mass email that told friends things look good, there is still no definitive "yes" to surgery.

I had to make a few calls about the CT scan of my abdomen that UCLA requested. I have an appointment for 8 tomorrow morning. And I had an appointment with a pulmonologist, who prescribed a nasal spray to help dry up my mucous. He gave me a letter to fax to UCLA, stating that from a pulmonary standpoint, I am good to go.

Last night I lost another 2 pounds during dialysis treatment, but I must still have more to go. Though I can walk much farther than I could just two days ago, I still feel an upwelling of fluids and the resulting pressure on my chest upon exercise. I would feel so much better if I felt no fatigue or pressure upon walking. That would be the best way to enter surgery.

Gnomes Take on the TSA

A few nights ago, I finally got around to the filming of a promotional video I had roughed out a long time ago. Aaron is the camera man. I am the actress.

Perhaps now that the TSA is under justifiable attack for violating the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution by irradiating travelers and feeling them up, Gnomeland Security t-shirts will receive their due.
Sure would appreciate you accessing the following youtube link. I get a terrible case of the giggles at the beginning, so much so that you can see a tear in my left eye even once I finally settle down. But as I offer as an excuse in the video, "I haven't acted in a long time."

Have fun with this Gnomeland Security video and please make it viral.
