Good luck tomorrow!    Make sure you have some good reading material for when you are awake.    Are you having the surgery performed by laparoscopy?

Mizchelle,

Thank you so much for posting. Welcome to the club! Good to be on the other side, right? So glad you and your mom are doing well. Now just take care of yourself. your body has been through a big surgery so take things slow and give yourself time to heal.

All the best,

Sherri

Hey Mizchelle, came across your post and was curious how you and your moms surgery turned out. I hope all went well for you 2. I will be donating this upcoming Friday.Praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

This is the greatest site!!!

I received the greatest supportive words from those here and gained confidence prior to surgery by reading the posts here.

I almost feel silly for even being anxious at all.  The surgeries went great! Mom is recovering well and I am back at work and getting back into my routine activities. I am so grateful that I was able to do this and can't imagine NOW having any doubts of organ donation.

Thank you again everyone for your thoughts, prayers and input.
