What's ahead...........A new Beginning

Today I am looking at Juliana's and my Surgery as a New Beginning.  For me It has brought me to appreciate All the Dr.s and Nurse's we have in the World.  It is amazing That one person can Give an important Organ Like a Kidney to Another Human being and the body adjusts to one kidney and it becomes bigger and better than two little Kidneys, It becomes a Super Kidney~.........  I hope I can really touch  someone  with my experience. And if that person has the  desire to be a Donor they will become one.    I can't explain the feeling,  but I can tell you it is a Joyous. I want to get more people interested in Kidney Donation....Thousands and Thousands of people die each year because they were on a Kidney Transplant List and and for some reason the right person didn't come forward to HELP....Most people are on the list up to 11 years before they hopefully  get a match....Surgeons have come along way on Kidney transplants and No longer is it invasive with a lot of cutting and entering through the back.  It is now laparoscopic usually on your left side with 3 small  incisions and recovery is pretty fast 2 to 6 weeks........Wow.....Absolutly AMAZING..........After my Surgery I will give you a day by day report on how I feel..............My next appointment  is my Pre-op on Tuesday Oct. 12..........I got a little freaked out when Juliana told me she had to give 24 vials of blood for her pre-op appointment.........OMGosh will I too..........It's okay bring it on and than Give me lots of orange juice...heheheheh.........Goodbye till Tomorrow........:))

  1. Patty, you have been wonderful with this blog, please keep going with it. Thank you for the encouragement you have offered in just the comments and observations you have made. I realize that deep in side myself I lack this type of effortless giving but to read what you are going to do is an inspiration.
