More calls and now it looks like a go. “Make sure you are all packed and ready, but just sit tight.” “Probably later this afternoon or evening.” No problem, I like starting off two down. As promised, Paige and I call the girls when it first looks like a go, to do so prematurely would be unfair given the chance that something might come up. Reading between the lines, it almost sounds like the donor is local or certainly close by. We are never told that, but the fact we are being asked to stand down at the apartment makes me wonder.

Finally get the call saying to show up at ICU at 3 p.m. Glad I shaved my chest this morning. After we parked the car, we got a selfie of us at the ER helipad. Like getting ready for the big game. Checked in, lab work done, sticky things on my chest, fresh chest x-ray, reams of paperwork, hospital gown, and it is just now five in the afternoon. Surgery has been moved back again this time to 8:30 p.m. Working on finding a home for all the other organs.

Not sure how much longer I can type the narrative before they take my laptop and start. It is 6 p.m., and they are about to get sharp things ready for me in a cold room.

Thanks to all of you for your help in so many ways. See you in a few days.

Live well, you don’t know about tomorrow.
