Surgery on Friday 2/24
« on: February 22, 2012, 01:37:19 PM »
Two more days and I will be donating my left kidney to a friend from high school. I am so nervous-not for the surgery for myself but for my friend! I know its out of my hands at this point. Please send us positive thoughts! Thank you

Good luck!
  While you're waiting, try to practice getting on/off your bed without using your stomach muscles.
