THANKS everyone for your encouraging words! Since I last posted my hubby and I arrived in Seattle and met Heather. Wow, my heart just swelled up to meet this dear friend who I only corresponded with before. Since then, we have been hanging around constantly like long-lost sisters. We had our hospital stuff on Friday and today, lots more vials of blood, lots more ways for my donor coordinator to show his incompetence. I swear. When this is all over, someone is getting an earful.
But that’s the ONLY negative. You’re right Julie about today being clear liquids and lots of pooping. So I’m staying indoors which is ok because Seattle is raining today. Heather does not have to fast today and our inner cleansing methods are different: mine was 2 little orange pills last night before bed; hers is an enema this evening.
Still full of excitement for tomorrow, no doubts or fears, just thrilled to be given this opportunity to help someone at the same time I get to feel like my life is making a difference.
If any of you are interested, there’s an amazing community going on at facebook. Just go to Friends of Sidney and ask to join or be friended or whatever. You can see pictures of us and Seattle, and my husband is going to update the page with our status as the surgery progresses.
Love you all! Thanks so much for your friendship.
