21 Days.... 3 weeks...

At this very moment(11:54am) 3 weeks ago I was waking up in the recovery room with an aching back and sick to my stomach. What an amazing journey this has been. I have met some wonderful people along the way. I have met people that are in desperete need of a kidney and no donor to match, as well as a reciepient. And here it is New Years Eve time for resolutions to be set. I have been trying to think what kind I would make for myself this year... I never really make out a list to follow, just kinda toss some ideas in my head and try to stick with them. So this year I choose to Live my life with more Passsion, I already do this but I want to continue to grow in this way... I also choose to live a little healthier with my diet and exercise, I am already pretty good with this too, well not the exercise part :-/ Volunteering more is on my mental list also...more than just at the food bank. Volunteering with LifeShare of Oklahoma to continue my vow of raising awareness. So wish me luck!
On the 27th, I went to my post op check up and did my first round of lab work, everything looked good! I am a little bit anemic, due to not eating enough, but overall all of my numbers are good! I don't have to go back till I reach the 3 mth mark, then it's just lab work unless there are problems! Dr. Samara was pleased with everything and thanked me for my donation. My scar is healing really well too! While I was in the waiting room I met a young man named Jason. We started talking and he had a transplant in 2005.. He said since that his life has improved so much. His donation was from a young man in his 30's that passed away in a motorcycle accident. Jason has tried to find the family to thank them for saving his life but there has been no such luck.:-( it has me thinking who received my dads corneas?!?! Does anyone in my family know?!?! Something I haven't asked anyone.. I need to see if I can find out! Jason also said his transplant also lead him to meet his amazing wife! What a great story. Fate, that's all it is! Congratulations Jason on your new life!!! It was so nice to meet you!

Today I went back to work.. It was a nice easy day.. We closed at noon, for the holiday and we are closed tomorrow. This will make for a good "get back into the swing of things" I am definitely ready for this... My back has been hurting a good deal today, but all in all I'm good.

Milton is also improving:-) can't wait to be able to hang out with Milton, Brittany, and Zarria... And get to know each other! All in due time I know..
Well I'm going to close up now.. Thank you everyone for your love and support. God Bless!
