Why this blog?

I started this blog because I am going to have a kidney transplant very soon and I thought it might be good to keep a diary of the event - it might even help some of you out there about to experience something similar or if you know someone going through it. Meanwhile it is a space for me to jot down my ideas or thoughts.

The operation will be in just under two weeks time. My Dad is donating so it is a pretty big event for the whole family. All the tests are done. Everything is pretty much ready and we are just waiting now - waiting can be the hardest part. When I am in hospital, my Mum is going to be doing the typing for this blog - she has promised to write what I want.
