Surgeon

Today I met the surgeon who will remove my kidney.  I saw the results of all of my tests--apparently my kidneys work extremely well.  The CT scan looks just like the pictures in an anatomy book.  All tests well within normal range.  No worries whatsoever.
So the surgery is tentatively scheduled for June 21.  They'll try to find a recipient who matches my blood, with a relative who wants to donate but doesn't match.  Then that donor can donate to another patient on the waiting list on the same day that I donate.  Two lives saved for the price of one (sort of).
The following Saturday, June 25, is Kerry's family reunion.  If anyone is free that day and wants to come hang out with me while I sleep and read, that'd be great.  Then he could go to his reunion.
Three weeks away.  I'll let you know if that changes.  Pray for me and my recipient.
