So…today was not a good day. I found out that my donor may not be able to give me a kidney. He went through the last part of the testing process this morning only to find out that he has kidney stones. If the stones turn out to be acute, then we go ahead with the surgery. If this turns out to be a chronic problem, it’s a no go. I won’t know anything for at least a week, but best case scenario we are looking at the beginning of March, worst case scenario we have to start the testing process all over for someone else. And to think, I was so excited about the ipad this morning…

Happy New Year! This year started off with a bang. Synergy pulled off a 9 event new years without a hitch. Our first event of the year is a private party to celebrate Whitey Herzog getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. Following this is my surgery in the beginning of February. I will be in New York for a few days in the middle of March working on a project, which always makes me happy as it is my favorite city in the US. Then on to Copenhagen and London. All in all, 2010 is starting off quite nicely.
Over the holidays I got to see Mitch, Gina, Jason and Kai. For Mitch, it had been well over 10 years. The thing I remember about Mitch, and this still holds true, was that he was genuinely kind to everyone, always. Let’s not wait that long to see each other again, ok? Seriously though, it was great to see you all. You have been missed.
2010 comes with the promise of new beginnings, and for me that comes in the form of a new kidney. As of now we are looking at the 2nd week of February for the transplant. As excited as I am at the prospect of getting my life back, I find myself getting more and more apprehensive as time passes. I realize that I don’t really have an option, but I fear that if this operation fails it will take with it the last bit of hope I have left. I know if it fails, that disappointment will be too much for me. The last three years have been…excruciating. My only desire for this year is that one way or another this nightmare is over. For all of you, I wish the best of health, for without it there truly is nothing.
