Congratulations to Jody and her recipient--and thanks, Bill, for the update.
About the privacy issue. As I'd posted earlier, I had initially wanted to remain anonymous from my recipient, but we kept getting appointments for testing, interviews, etc., together, and we ended up driving in together. I wasn't necessarily so happy with that (though it did work out well for me in the end--we bonded very very well).
But, anyway, later I realized it's a bit of a moot point. Our center is not huge, and we would have been bound to meet anyway. If two new patients are freshly post-op, and one donated and one received....Well, you get the idea.
Be well, Snoopy
