I don't even have anything funny to say, except we are all still thankful that I didn't have to go through the "of sound mind" evaluation for all of this to get the stamp of approval because I immediately starting calculating acceptable vacation dates.
It looks like the transplant will take place in November and we expect to pick a firm date next week.
It's one thing to talk about getting a transplant…to read about it, to obsessively research it, to semi joke about my annoyance with the dialysis machine and my lack of ability to plan a vacation…it's another thing entirely to have it be a real life it's going to happen type of thing. I kind of want to puke.
Whether you pray or meditate or think kind thoughts or hold a seance please do it for John and his family. Erik really has no choice in this whole matter. John, and his family, have a choice. A big choice. They are fabulous friends and simply amazing human beings.
And because a kidney transplant doesn't really make me "not me" I will be making a list of things I need while Erik is in surgery…he will be sedated, I will not be as far as anyone knows….and investing in a really cute hospital wardrobe.
