I havnt posted in a while again... I'm a lazy bastard! BUT.... I wanted to post on my day prior to my transplant surgery. I have been kinda nervous since I found out I was getting a transplant, but today I'm kinda scared. I know I shouldn't be, but I just don't like going under.
Anyway, my mom got tested and she's a positive match and tomorrow we go in together. Its alot more comforting knowing that I'll be going in with someone I love. I really like this message board too, reading it helps me get ready for what I'm about to do.
I was told I will be out of the hospital in 5-7 days if everything goes right. I just got a new PSP (playstation portable) and 6 games to go with it, also my mom lent me the new harry potter book. I should have enough to keep me occupied while I'm recovering. I just hope I feel like doing those things.
Another thing, this transplant has come tooooo fast on me. I have so many BIG things I had to do before I become bedridden. I had to stain my deck, cut my grass, put together a baby bed, plant some plants I had sitting in my garage for months, that are getting too big now. These might not sound like big things, but I usually run out of energy doing smaller things, so each of these is like a day project :-X. I got everything done on my list, except the baby bed, and I have to do that today.
I'll let you know how it goes in exquisite detail for future reference.
Good luck to everyone else in there en devours for a transplant

Congrats Jaybird! My thoughts will be with you. I understand the lists! As David and I sit in this hospital and wait for our surgery tomorrow all I can think about is what I didn't get done. But everyone tells me not to worry about it and just to rest, so I suggest you do the same. Good luck!
