It has been confirmed that Wednesday 12/29/2010 is the date that I will be (or rather the surgeons) delivering a piece of my Liver to my Father. For those of you that don't know what today is.....well it is Winter Solstice, the day when we get a little more light..and I believe that you can not get any brighter than this very moment. I can not think of a better Christmas gift to ever give anyone than a piece of yourself in any form. It is has been my honor thus far to say I have given a life, changed a few lifes and now I get to save a life with some help from my Lahey Buddies.
Well that's it for now.....still trying to wrap my head around all of this...I shall write more later when I talk to Denise again and get the particulars of the Pre-op Day...whoa I am at a loss for words right now...and yup I am crying but not because I am sad or scared....just because............

ReplyDeleteHi Melanie,
I apologies for not having the technical know-how to leave a comment, and emailing you direct.
I just wanted to say that I will be sending my thoughts, prayers and healing to you and the family on 29th, not that I haven't been already.
Just for the record, and I think you saw it on Katherine's email; I am truly impressed by your upbeat and positive attitude about this whole trial. I am also really touched by your openness and honesty. I cant imagine what you are all going through, but I can tell you that Im rooting for you here in England as best I can.
I hope you can still enjoy something of Christmas, even if you cant eat and drink what you want!
With love and healing,
Glenn
