Howdy everyone

Well I have some good news. All the tests have worked out with my mom and she is donating a kidney to me.

The crazy thing is the time. This all happens 10-11-2000. The day my mom passed her last test Stanford called and said how about the 11th of October. This was less than two weeks warning. Wow i was shocked.

I dont even really know what to write im so blown away by all of this.

Thanks

In any event, will have you both in mind a week today.

Well im back from the hospital and doing great. Well the Kidney is great anyway. The recovering from everything has been a little harder. The first two days in the hospital after the operation where tough.

Anyway Im back on my feet and doing great. My mom is doing better even than I. Boy those folks at Stanford are great.

They even gave me a week off my diet to I can enjoy some of the food I have been missing. I dont know which was better the green banana, Pizza or the Phish food ice cream.

Thanks to everyone for there words of support

Well I should get going dinner time is rolling around.

Thanks to everyone
