Our stories (Mine and the recipients)
« on: August 31, 2011, 10:56:17 PM »
Had my pre op appointment today.  Looking good and not nervous.  I can't believe how much I have to do around the house before then, but oh well.  

Next Tuesday is the Day.  We are doing a big fundraiser on Saturday.  I can't believe how many people are rallying around it.  Here is the link to the recipient's NTAF fundraising page http://www.ntafund.org/find-a-patient/profile/index.cfm/patient/4DB1AFF6-C1A4-7D3F-C7D04728BA3971ED  Included on the page is a letter from my friend the recipient and a letter from me.  I think you would really enjoy reading and I didn't want to cut and paste them here because they are so long.

I also copied the idea from Shelly and Heather's Facebook page "Friends of Sydney" Ours is "Billy the Kidney".  

Thanks,
Tori

Oh and that it not me in the photo.  The photo is of John and his awesome wife who is a friend of mine.
