Oh. My. Gosh. Folks! Wonders indeed never cease. As you have been reading here I have been seriously considering going on peritoneal dialysis. I was well on my way to preparing for it. My joints, etc. have been giving me so much pain from lying in the dialysis recliner. I had my mind made up. I was ready. And then it happened. On Friday 13th, 7:00 AM we got a phone call that told us we had a kidney. What? A kidney? Yes, come and get it! So William and I got up and started throwing stuff together and headed for Vanderbilt Medical Center. We got there in good time, but then it was hurry up and wait. It was 6:00 PM when they wheeled me into surgery and 9:00 PM when they wheeled me out. Now I'm the proud owner of three kidneys! It's been kind of rough at times but I know that each day that passes is one day closer to healing. I don't have the energy to sit here for very long so the details will have to come later. By the way, surgery was Friday night, and I came home on Monday afternoon! I'm still pretty much in a daze.
Til next time,
~Ann
