Will Rogers World Airport is almost completely empty. I can't remember anything like this. No lines, no waits, silent. It is somewhat creepy. 2 other passengers are waiting in my gate area. I'll have to change planes at DFW. I expect that airport to be more crowded than OKC. Then onward to Houston. Hooray!
Bush Intercontinental is a huge, busy airport. So, who knows what I'll find at that airport. Crowds for sure.

A review board will meet and decide whether I can be listed for a liver transplant at Baylor Hospital. Once I get listed I will have to move to Houston so that I will be close to the hospital. I plan to live with my sister and her family throughout the process. My sister has committed to be my support person before, during, and after the transplant. |

So, who knows what I'll find at that airport. Crowds for sure. Back home yet? Yes BuckeyeDale. I returned home Friday, March 20 after a two-day liver transplant evaluation at CHI St. Luke's Baylor Hospital. The hospital was in downtown Houston at the The Texas Medical Center, a huge complex that includes M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, DeBakey Heart Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital and other facilities. When I arrived, health care workers screened all patients,employees, and visitors for symptoms of COVID-19. Then we were given clearance stickers to wear on our clothing while we're in the facility. After 7:00am registration a group of patients and I have been trying to get a hold and each patient's designated support person attended mandatory transplant education classes. Later there individual meetings with transplant coordinators, social workers, nutrition services/dieticians, financial coordinators, nurse practitioners, pharmacist and transplant surgeons. I had to had to sign consent forms, legal documents--including a Medical Power of Attorney and Financial Agreements re: responsibility to carry insurance and drug coverage. Next, I had a MRI, chest x-rays, and a bone density study--including 4 images of my mandible (jawbone). On the second day I had a nice time with registration at 7:00am and then lab work. 21 or 22 vs of blood drawn, and urinalysis including a drug/alcohol screen. Following the lab tests, I had a cardiology consult to make sure my heart was strong enough for the transplant. First, was a stress test where the technician took images while I was at rest. Next, the nurse injected me through IV with an adrenalin-like drug that was meant to simulate my heart during exercise. After waiting an hour, the technician took images of my heart. Next, I had a carotid doppler (ultrasound of the artery in my neck to look for blockages). I had an EKG and an echocardiogram. Then I went back to the lab to get arterial blood gases drawn. Finally done, or so I thought. As soon as I returned home to Oklahoma, I found out the cardiologist wanted me to have a cardiac catheterization procedure scheduled for May 11. I'll have to return to Houston. It is day surgery, so if there are no complications I can fly home in a few days after the procedure. |

Wow...busy couple of days...Darn shame the decision for your cardiac procedure couldn't have been made sooner to save you another trip. But then again, scheduling being what it is, probably would have needed another flight regardless. Hang in there, kid...try to stay as upbeat and positive as possible. Attitude contributes a lot to all medical conditions... Well, for everything this side of Dead Already... We're all praying for ya, and hope you'll be well. |
