I'm currently in my hospital room.  Been here since 2:30pm.  They took lots and lots of blood.  Finally, received news from the doctor at 12:00am that I'm compatible and I'm schedule for transplant surgery at 8:00am.

I'm so scared but I'm keeping positive.

It was the cruise, girl!!!!!

Cruising must be key to getting a kidney!   :rofl;   :clap;

Take deep breaths and get comfortable.  It will all be over before you know it and you'll be on your way to a quick recovery!
