Well,
Tomorrow TODAY is the day. It all seems very surreal and it has been several weeks to get to this point. I look at this picture and realize that this time tomorrow, I’ll be missing one of these bad boys. Well, not really missing it I guess. I know where it will be but still and interesting thought.
I have been prayer through these many weeks that God would use this story to bring honor to His name and not my own. This journey has created several conversations with medical staff personnel that are interested in the donation. Since I did not know her, it was called an altruistic donor, and it created a bit of interest. I have been humbled by the outpouring of support and prayers and am grateful for them all and for you all.
I will be down at Emory at 6am and right now the surgery is scheduled for around Noon. It will take about 3 hours and then who knows how long for recovery to make it back to be admitted into a room at the hospital. A 5star room I am sure. And tomorrow night will probably be a pain in the “side” I guess. Friday and Saturday to be back up on my feet moving around and maybe discharged from the hospital Sunday (Saturday if I’m lucky – I do have grass to mow). Anyway, I wanted to send a quick note and say that I definitely appreciate your prayers for Peggy who will receive my kidney and for me and my family.
Talk to you soon.
