@marvinjsturing Hello. I have been thinking about you and several other members that I haven't touched base with lately. Where are you in the transplant process? I hope your sister is doing well and that you are close to getting the kidney, if not from her, then a donor will be found. I had to stop the treadmill as I now have neuropathy in my feet as a result of my diabetes. It was fun while it lasted, but now I have a hard time walking so my exercise is limited to my house chores and what I do inside. I hope you are doing well. I'd love to know where you are in the process.
Carol

@retiredteacher Hi, Carol. I currently have 1 year in on the wait list. I will go back to Rochester in June for my annual review. I am in the process of trying to get on the transplant list at Nebraska Medicine in Omaha. I am scheduled for testing there on January 8-9. My sister @lottajoy has her last chemo on Monday. In this round, the first infusion takes about 10 hours and then she has 4 infusions of chemo - one every 12 hours - so she has to stay in the hospital for 3 days. It wipes her out for 3 weeks. If everything goes well, she will have a stem cell transplant in January. That will require a 3-4 week stay in the hospital. I stopped walking also. I really need to get back into it again.
