Dr. G just left the room. He's the doctor that did the procedure on my esophagus the other day. He asked about the appointment regarding the liver transplant and I told him we'd have to reschedule since we missed the appt on Tuesday. He mentioned that I have the same cancer as Steve Jobs from Apple Computer and I told him . Steve Jobs had a transplant two months ago and is doing fine. But catch this -- there's an 85% success rate with liver transplants!!! How great is that! And livers are not as difficult to match as kidneys. Also, there are more kidneys available in Kentucky than most states, but Indiana has a fair amount also. Great news, huh?
AND THEN...more good news. The wonderful, caring, loving people who I work for believe it is in my best interest to go on leave and take care of my health so I am officially grounded until further notice. This will give me the time and energy to work on getting/staying well, to make my body and mind strong enough to get through the transplant and to spend time with my boys, family and friends and enjoy life, rather than stress through it.
