I always have the best of intentions ... and then they don't quite work out. The last time I posted, I was getting nervous about the delays in possibly donating a kidney to my bestie and then ... it all worked out! I guess I just couldn't find the time to just sit down and keep this blog updated. Basically we all (me, Jim, and the pup) drive to Washington state in early June and we stayed in Birch Bay (near my hometown) for a week+. We then drove to Seattle on June 19 and I had the surgery on June 21. We stayed in our Seattle rental for a couple more weeks and got home about the middle of July. I was able to rest a little more before school started and now here we are -- about the middle of the semester! So time truly does just "fly by!" But I am healthy and back to normal -- and Tanya is doing wonderfully which makes me a super happy camper!
I am going to try and do better about writing here but if you are interested -- here is what a perfectly normal kidney looks like before it went to the recipient (the bottom one!) and then what I looked like in the inside in terms of my kidneys before "Ethel" left and "Lucy" remained on her own inside of me!
