mplate 99 Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Thought I would provide an update on my search for a kidney. In April, I went to Cincinnati in search of one. I was turned down but was provided with a list of hoops to jump through so that I could reapply. In the course of jumping through these hoops, a heart test revealed an inadequate blood flow to the heart while under stress. Exploratory surgery discovered a large calcium rock blocking an artery. Blockage was estimated at 90%. The rock was so big, my cardiologist was unable to remove it using traditional methods. The surgery was rescheduled for Stanford so that a laser could be used to pulverize the rock. This was successful. Good thing as the next step would have been open heart surgery. Even so, I must wait three months before I can renew my search for a kidney. If Cincinnati says no again, I can try Omaha. After that, I don't know. Life in California is such a joke right now. A recent visit to my credit union showed a sign saying masks were finally optional if I'd been vaccinated. Last visit, the sign was gone and masks were mandatory again. Once again, my barbers is allowed to cut my hair but not trim my beard. It offends me to have to wear a mask that won't help me avoid Covid, only others. Especially since the only others it might help are the unvaccinated. In this state, that's primarily illegal aliens. Why should I have to wear a mask to protect someone who came into this country, illegally, unvaccinated, without a mask and allowed to enter even if they have Covid?
