Well Ladies and Gents, we are about three days away from the transplant surgery.
Ben says he's not nervous!
As for me, I am not nervous...(yet)but in reality there is so
much going on, that I'm extremely distracted from the actual procedure.
Lets hope it stays that way..I tend to have a delayed reaction to major events..
I may freak out afterwards..when its all over and I have time to digest it everything.
But either way....
The next time you see us, Ben will have THREE KIDNEYS, ONE in particular that will be working AMAZINGLY!(it better be!)
the surgery is going to be at Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey.

Well ladies and gentlemen we have a date!
March 24th, 2008 is the day I will give one of my kidneys to my hubby.
March 24th, 2008 is the day my Benji will start a new healthy life...almost like a baptism.
We are very excited and nervous.
We know we will be in your prayers and thoughts.
thanks in advance...
B&M

Update
hello all.
Wonderful news...after all of the testing, I've been cleared to donate my kidney
to my hubby.
We have one final appointment with the surgeon to discuss the which kidney they will be taking and also the incision sites ( yes sites..as in three!)
I'm a bit nervous about that...the scars and such.
We've found out that the donor's surgery is about one hour longer and is much more difficult
than transplanting the recipient. We also learned that the recipients recovery is much longer than the donor's.
We will be recovering on the same floor of the hospital..but not the same room because of New Jersey law...that kinda sucks. I was looking forward to holding hands from our individual hospital beds..ha! OR perhaps sharing a bed..LOL!
Anyways, whatever the sleeping arrangements, I'm happy that my Benjy will be on the road to good health.
We haven't set an official date yet, but we are shooting for the first week of april.
We'll keep you posted.
