Purge

Well wasn't this fun! NOT

So we had to purge or clean our bowels as they like to call it technically.

Drank a bottle of something at 3pm
- by 4pm .. was concerned it wasn't going to work
- by 5pm .. was feeling quite gassy
- by 6pm .. was feeling VERY gassy
- by 7pm ... Oh My God ....
- by 8pm ... I thought it could be ending
- by 8:30pm ... now I think it is over
- by 9:00pm ... that was just a pause ....
- by 10:00pm .. I will never eat a heavy meal again
- by 10:30pm .. I can breath again
- by 11:00pm .. I am so tired and my bottom was so sore .. I must sleep
- interesting note, Penny decided to sleep on the couch!

(This was written much later on)

Two days out ...

The operation is two days out, and Penny & I have been running around like madmen.

We need to visit it with the anesthetist today, and all the pre-op personel. We are also part of a study. 29 vials of blood were taken which apparenltly was extreme and abnormal (?)

Pam, Penny and I are going out for our "last"meal ...

Overall I feel quite calm; the boys are being taken care of in Schomberg, it's just the 3 of us and tomorrow Holly will join us.

Terrible News

My father in law, George passed away from cancer. Even though it was inevitable the speed that it happened was incredible.

May you rest in peace George, you were a great man, great husband and great father.

You will be missed!

There will now be questions as to whether or not the kidney donation will go ahead, but let us get through this first.
