the date has been set! Wednesday, October 27th at 6 a.m. I show up at the University of Washington Medical Center for my nephrectomy (removal of my kidney).
I don't know which kidney they'll take, nor do I care that much. I was surprised at the length of time it took and and amount of tests that they did. My first appointment was on May 19th, so it's taken 5 months to get to this point. Though it has been relatively easy.
I'm thrilled that I get to take the next step. I'm not nervous yet, the operation is 10 days away - and I'm not sure I expect to be nervous. As I told a friend, there will be a white light surrounding me, protecting me.
I have heard some peoples story, from family members, to the actual "recipient" - but I do not know, nor will I know anything about the person who will receive my kidney. I am hoping that eventually they will contact me.
