Happy Monday

I am suprising Aimee with a post of my own, although she has been doing an awesome job.

I just left the hospital and have reached my 2nd destination of the Comfort Inn in San Francisco. I have a great view of the Golden Gate, room service, good cable and high speed internet. I am content. This is to help adjust with all my changes before I go home where Donovan, all my pets and responsibilities lie. The last 5 days has been very intense. But, today is a happy one for me.

The surgery was harder than I thought in some ways, but exactly what I thought as well. Sarah continues to struggle with nausea and pain. That is hard on me. She really has given me the ultimate gift in her kidney. She keeps joking I get nothing else for Christmas this year, but I really can't express my gratitute. How do you thank someone for doing something so selfless and loving. SHe is an amazing friend and I am so greatful she was willing to make such a sacrifice.

I must admit, I am on a lot of drugs at the moment and fear that my blog won't make much sense. I really should leave this to Aimee, but I had an opportunity to say thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. The last 24 hours I have continued to improve and believe I am on my way to a good recovery.

The next 6 months will be tough for me. I have a lot more restricitions than I realized, but to be off dialysis should change my life enough that the others won't seem like much of a comprimise at all.

I will post more with my restrictions later.

love to all.
