SPREZZATURA is my favorite word. At its base level, it means nonchalance. It describes the art of doing something difficult with the greatest of ease.
Art without (apparent) effort.

Congratulations! It's a beautiful kidney!

So Terry and Paul are both tucked in at Porter Adventist Wonderful Hospital tonight after an exciting and eventful day. The surgery was completed as planned and Paul was actually in 2 places at once for a little while this afternoon. By now, however, Terry is working on making this kidney his own. We are hoping that it will serve him well and make his life long and healthy. I think it will help him see the bright side of every story, laugh a great deal, and be able to pass Paul's optimism on to everyone he touches! The first report is that he is the Pee King!

Paul still has his left side label where the kidney once lived and is very thirsty. But he has taken his first walk and is happy and relieved as am I.
From this day forward, we can all be content with getting up in the middle of the night!

Pictures to come from Paul and Terry........
Ciao,
Joyce
