After A Very Long 24 Hours, I Have One Request…

Please sign up to become an organ donor, if you haven’t already done so.

Last night, my mom’s life was vastly improved because someone made that decision.  That means she has the new kidney she’s been waiting for a life free from dialysis.  And that all happened because some decided it would be a good thing that G-d forbid anything happened to them their organs could be used to save and improve lives.  Taking those five minutes can really make a difference and do a whole world of good for many people.

I’m very happy to report that she’s doing well at the moment.  The kidney is starting to come to life and she is doing really well for someone that came out of major surgery around two o’clock this morning.

So, have a happy and healthy new year and please, please, please, make the decision to become an organ donor (if you haven’t already done so).

    it was a really long day.  I was supposed to go away for New Year’s to visit family in New England.  Left Brooklyn at 12:30, got up there around 3:40 and about an hour later I was back on the road to get home.  I’ve been at the hospital all night and into today.

    I’m glad your mom is doing well; my mom had one functioning kidney for most of her adult life so I have some vague understanding of the issue.

    Go get some sleep.

    My prayer for your mom is for quick healing, gallons of glorious urine, and a long life of good health. My prayer for you, Darlin, is sleep. 🙂
