Okay, big big big news. The whole transplant thing? It's already set up! They've got housing arrangements, procedure arrangements, and blah blah blah. The donor is still willing, and is a young strapping dude who is raring to help me. We go down on November 7th, November 27th we start the actual treatment prep (two weeks of it), and after that the actual procedure is on December 7th. We have to stay down there for at least 100 days, maybe more, depending on how well it all goes (which it is going to go smooth as glass!). The whole thing isn't crystal clear, and I will update as needed. Another comforting thought is that whatever Medicaid won't pay for, the hospital will pick up the rest. We don't even have to get rid of any of the animals! It seems like this thing is already thought through by the Big Guy. I'm anxious, but not in a bad way. It's just all happening so fast, it's a whirlwind of thoughts! Oh, and they are letting me have chicken noodle soup and crackers!!! The day is good!!!
