WELCOME HOME!!

THANKS LIZ!

Wow. What a week. This week was so much harder than I ever thought it was going to be. It was so tough seeing Bill go through such a difficult ordeal. They say that when someone donates it is harder than when someone receives. Well, Bill felt that to some degree when they removed his kidney. But when someone donates, generally, they are in good health. Bill was/is not. His red blood cell count is low, and he feels kinda bad. So he had major surgery and then lost what little kidney function he had. Then he couldn't have much dialysis until he had recovered some from the surgery. Bill doesn't do well with the pain medication. It makes him sick, and his throat was scratched from whatever it is they stick down it for surgery. All in all, it was something that we are so grateful is behind us instead of ahead. We appreciate the love and concern of wonderful family and friends. I can't believe all of the flowers, visits, "care" packages, prayers, meals, and good wishes. We are so blessed. Thanks everyone for your many phone calls and your concern. It all means so much. Great day today. Sleeping in our own bed!!
