Last Friday I had a CT scan of my kidneys. It was a quick relatively painless procedure. I did have to have an IV (I'm a hard stick) but God was watching over me and the tech and she got the IV on the first stick. They inject dye or "contrast media" which outlines my kidneys during the scan. The dye gave me the feeling like I was wetting my pants. The tech warned me before hand so that prepared me for the sensation.

The next step is an appointment with a transplant surgeon. I have an appointment on January 12. He will decide if I am a candidate to donate my kidney, from there I will see a laparoscopic surgeon who will do the surgery. Hopefully the surgery will occur in January or February.
