Another twist in the healthcare saga. I spoke with the thoracic surgical nurse and explained my situation with the chest scar, keloid, pressure, and weird clicking sounds. She thinks I will need to get a chest CT scan then see the actual surgeon that performed the bypass surgery. They have to call me back to arrange a time for the scan. I asked what it could be and she said it may just be cartilage, for which there is no fix. I also may require additional surgery if it’s something they have to fix.
I can’t believe this news is coming on the same day as the transplant call. If I have to get cut up again, I’ll need to go on hold again and delay transplant for months if not derail it. I can’t win.
