A different nurse from the same company showed up today at 5;00 pm. The prior visit was just intake and to fill out forms. This visit was also only 15 minutes. He took my vitals, listened to my heart and lungs, and took a peek at my incision. He actually asked me if I had an incision. What?! How did the surgeons transplant a kidney without cutting? Weird. I also told him about my wild blood pressure swings, with the high being 210/110. “Dangerous” was his comment.
That’s all. He said he would be back Monday. His role is supposed to check in on me post-surgery. I told him that I’m seeing the care team at UCLA Monday morning, but he said he was coming that afternoon anyway..
