Dan's surgery went well except for the fact that they moved it from the am to the pm and I couldn't be there. So two of my best friends took my place and were there when he came out of surgery, went and filled his meds, took him home, made sure he was okay and waited until I got home from the restaurant. I am very grateful for them!
He is sore today and resting. Since the surgery lasted about one and a half hours, he is also recovering from the anesthesia... If he feels better tomorrow he can be at Tierra in the evening as maitre'd.
This blog is for Dan Krinsky, co-chef and co-owner of Tierra restaurant in Atlanta and my husband. Dan is 52 years old and was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease in 2003. We thought that he would be able to live without complications for at least 10 more years but his kidney function deteriorated much faster and his kidneys got to the point where he needed a transplant. After two and half years and 8 potential donors, we finally got a kidney. This is our story.

Why we went public
Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) like Dan are highly encouraged to get a living donor as soon as possible since their overall health is good except for their kidneys.
We made Dan’s plight public in the hope that someone would want to be our hero and give Dan a kidney.
