It's a little weird. I've been retired for a little more than six and a half years, but this morning I have the most important interview of my life, so far.
I've been battling and losing to chronic kidney disease for several years, with my neurologist using all of her skill and modern medicine to stave off the inevitable.
We (meaning me) have now reached the inevitable.
I met with a physician ten days ago to finalize the arrangements for surgery to place a catheter in my lower stomach, so that in the New Year, I can start peritoneal dialysis. This morning, I have interviews with two different doctors to screen me for placement on a transplant list.
I have no idea what to wear to the interviews or even what's involved. Between my age and my comorbidities, I'm at a disadvantage in terms of consideration. I hope I can make it up in the talent contest and swimsuit competition (maybe not the latter).
Fingers crossed.
