Saturday
On this day, back in 2009, I got the phone call everyone on dialysis wants and never expects to get. Lizzie and I spent hours of fretting about whether or not to accept a cadaver kidney coming in from San Antonio (see post # 337*). What a day! We ended up at the Transplant Center that afternoon getting me prepped and prompted for a transplant. It was in no way a normal day... so at the end, I went to sleep. While I was asleep, a miracle occurred: I didn't know the miracle occurred because I was asleep. And the miracle was that "Mordecai the Miracle Kidney" came to live inside me right beside my other kidneys. When I awoke in the morning, the first thing I noticed was that I was still on the planet and boy was I groggy! It took hours and hours for me to fully awaken to the situation.
Now it's ten years after that day, and this song comes to mind from "Ten Years After" of course: https://youtu.be/wggg74Eieas
