Hey readers!
So from my last post, you learned that I have entered Stage 5 Kidney Disease...AKA, End Stage Renal Failure. At this stage my only chance at survival is a kidney transplant. Luckily, I've had a few selfless, wonderful people step forward and offer to donate for me...and it turns out, I have a match in my best friend! But this isn't what I'm here to talk about...I'm here to tell you that I have FINALLY recieved a YES from a doctor!!!
Gasp...I know, right?!
Well, I saw my kidney doctor yesterday and we got on the topic of babies and my ability to be a biological momma. My transplant could occur within the next couple of months, which then will start the countdown to when I can meet with my transplant surgeons and kidney specialists and discuss my progress. If all looks good, they can adjust my anti-rejection medication and we can start trying for our own babies...that I would carry!! This can happen as early as NEXT YEAR!!! We could potentially be expecting our own biological baby NEXT YEAR!!!!! I'm sorry to keep shouting but...I COULD BE A PREGNANT LADY NEXT YEAR!!! A dream, a want, a desire, a wish, a hope, an ambition I've strived towards my whole life...to be a momma! Now, I can actually, hopefully, experience pregnancy. The good and the bad...the joy and the pain...the miracle so many take for granted that I will cherish forever. I can't wait to finally get that news that says "okay, you can start trying now!". AHH!! That's still a far way away and still only a possibility, not guaranteed, however, it wasn't a no! We are so excited that we even have the potential to be biological parents...but first, a transplant!
