Terry and I will have something in common after this Thursday, April 28, 2011. He will have one of my kidneys. I will have the other one. That's me on the left; Terry on the right. This will be a big adventure for both of us, and we want to share it with anyone who might be interested.The transplant will happen at Porter Adventist Hospital. The people there have graciously consented to let me photograph as much of my experience as possible. There will be written posts and photographs from both of us throughout the experience. We probably won't be doing much during the surgery, though.
So do you know if they're taking your right kidney, or your left kidney? Any preference?
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do, don't let them take your bladder, if today is any indicator you'll want to keep it, and maybe ask for an enlargement:)

I am silenced by this incredible gift. May everything go as planned for the surgery. I will wear my good luck underwear tomorrow. Vivien
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteSprezzatura! Your favorite Italian word! That's what this picture portrays, but I know that you both have put a lot of thought and prayers in this decision. May God be with you and so are we.
