Summer is here but ...

I started this year with the hope that Dan would get a kidney in 2009. Now summer is here and we don't have a kidney yet... Of course the year is only half gone, but the process is so slow that I feel somewhat discouraged.

We do have a potential candidate that will get her physical in July and hopefully she will be healthy, healthy, healthy. It is hard to be positive and be prepared for the bad news, all at the same time. The brain plays tricks on you and you start mentally making plans about the transplant, the logistics for the business etc. and then you bring yourself down to reality. That is the reason that Dan stays a little detached from the process. The ups and downs are emotionally draining. He is getting adjusted to dealing with dialyisis while mantaining a working schedule. No easy task....
