So I am meeting with my potential transplant team for the first time in October and to say I am a little bit nervous is a rediculous understatement.
I know they are going to ask me tones of questions (especially since I just got an 8 page medical questionaire in the mail from them and it's basically like a body cavity search in paper form) and I'm really worried about their reaction to my responses to their questions.
What I mean is obviously I don't want to come off like a total hypocondriach and act like I am dying but at the same time I am worried that because I am still able to do some basic things, like go to school they won't consider listing me, or they will "keep an eye" on me, like some people say they will. I really really really want to get on the list cause I am sick and I want my life back. Right now I really believe that to a certain extent it is my brain is pushing my body through life, if you know what I mean. Obviously I am going to be completely honest with them about everything cause thats the only thing I can do, I'm just really really worried. I kind of feel like I'm going to be judged negatively cause I still go to school and am not "sick enough"
Any thoughts? What was everyone elses first appointments like? What kind of questions did they ask?
