This is just a short note to thank everyone who sent me good wishes and prayers about my wait for a kidney. I got the call on Friday, January 1st, while hubby and I were at the movies with our sons. I go see about one movie a year, so it's funny the call came at that time. (BTW, we loved the movie Avatar.)
The surgery took place on Saturday the 2nd around 5 p.m. I was done by 8:30 and the kidney started working while I was still in surgery.
I'm out of ICU already and provided everything continues to progress as well as it has, they are hoping to send me home by Wednesday.
Also, please say a prayer of thanksgiving to the donor and his family, who is going through a rough time here at the new year. And if you haven't done it yet, please consider signing up as an organ donor and possibly saving a life.
