Oh boy.

I haven't posted an update in a bit, oops. School's pretty busy this semester, and along with dialysis, that sets up for a strange schedule of free time. School is going well so far though. My fistula got even bigger post-surgery but it's not all branching out anymore, so that's good.  My arm hasn't been bothering me whatsoever since I got the staples out.

Possible big news today. My brother, Parker, recently decided that he wanted to see if he was eligible to be a kidney donor. He's been really gung ho about it since deciding to look into it and has met with the UC Davis Med Center people, taken a few tests, etc. Today, he texted me that he was called by one of the people and she told him that he passed the compatibility test. That's pretty huge. That was the major obstacle that might have stopped it from going through. Parker still has more tests and such to take, but it's looking like it might be possible now. I don't even know how I feel or what I think about it all. It's a bunch to take in. It's exciting though, hopeful.
