Let the blog see the rabbit...

I've just had a call from Vicky at the renal clinic. She told me that Dr Raftery has decided I do need a biopsy despite my improved creatinine level, on the basis that I'll be being transferred to Southend in January and they want to make sure that there are no problems with my transplant before that time.

The clinic is introducing a new system next week to allow transplant biopsies to take place as a day procedure in the Renal Outpatients clinic, thus avoiding the problem of waiting for a bed to become available and having to stay in. This is only happening on Mondays though.

I'm on a business planning course for the next two Mondays, so they will see if the biopsy can be delayed until the following Monday. Failing that, I'll have to go in on another day and wait for a bed on one of the renal wards.
