@savvysarahjane, I am taking a break from some holiday preparations, and I am wondering about you. You didn't indicate when your kidney donor surgery would occur, so I want to drop in for a quick, Thinking of you 💐-
I hope that you are doing well, and that your preparations are going smoothly. Will the surgery affect any holiday plans?

Hi Rosemary! My surgery was Wednesday and I was just discharged to my hotel today. I can't even begin to speak highly enough of everyone on the transplant team and their attention and care. They are amazing.
I am doing well, though I am discovering the gas pains everyone had mentioned. Not really any way to explain those until you have them first hand, is there? We are staying in Rochester until Tuesday then up to Minneapolis to fly home Wednesday.
