Doctor Visit

The doctor, Dr. Hoffman, had the test results and said all was fine. There is one test that is usually done on people before a kidney transplant but it involves a type of dye that is very hard on the kidneys...usually the people are already on dialysis so it's Ok..but Bob isn't and the test would end up causing him to go on dialysis. He said it is up to the transplant team..they didn't order the test so far. He said he's OK with Bob having the surgery, saw no problem from the heart position...except for that one test...I hope he doesn't have to take it...wouldn't make sense to do something that would put him on dialysis when we're trying so hard to avoid it...We're very happy with the results. It would have been very heartbreaking to have to accept a life on dialysis with no hope of a transplant.
