Today was one of those days where I just wished I had stayed in bed all day. Between having my HR bosses at the office all day and dealing with my nerves about the surgery, I would have been better off under the covers!
However, there was some good news today (of course, it can't trump yesterday's news that Josh and I are good "to go" on the surgery). I found out from a transplant patient that I will be able to eat small portions of crab and liver after transplant! I had been told that I wouldn't be able to eat either. I know I'll have to have small portions because of the amount of protein, but at least I'll still be able to have my beloved blue crabs and will still be able to enjoy dirty rice!
Also of interest today is that our company magazine might do a feature on Josh and I. Neither of us is quite sure how we feel about it, but we're considering it. It would be great to educate more people on how easy it is to donate, but Josh is not wanting the story to turn into a "Josh worship".
Oh, and one more thing. I thought I was getting a 29 year old kidney. I remembered today that Josh was born on September 14, so I'll be getting a 30-year old kidney instead.
That's about it for today. I wish I could tell you that life was more exciting, but when you're getting a new kidney in 12 days, everything else just pales in comparison.
