I had been working from home for the last few weeks. On Saturday April 11th, I enjoyed a big home-cooked lunch then sat back down in my office/living room to work. I, a rule breaker, had my phone on my desk. I had three missed calls: one at 2:46, 2:48, and 3:06pm. Ok, this might be important. At 3:09 I put myself into personal status and called back. "Transplant Department...this is Leah" I explained that I was returning a phone call. Leah very calmly explained to me "We have a kidney that is great match for you. Are you still interested?" "Ummm...yes?" Is she telling me I'm getting a kidney? Her tone made me a little unsure. I guess I was expecting more of a Publisher's Clearing House type

However, the dialysis process is still the same. Pt 1 It's a wrap Pt. 2 The Shtick Pt 3. The Wait
