So now I wait to wait again

Well, since February, I got an AV Fistula in my arm, which is where they connect an artery and vein together so that I can have dialysis out of my arm. After 7 weeks, I started being able to use it last week. So hopefully if it continues to work, I'll be getting my catheter out after the 18th..just a bit over 6 months after I got one in.
Right now I'm waiting for a letter from Northwestern saying I'm on the region's transplant list. The transplant doctor is saying I'd be on the list for probably about 3 years.
