Omigod you guys...

It is hard to believe that it was about one year ago when my sister, mom, and I went to the Med Center to learn about "kidney transplantation". Back then I was still in denial, and thought they were kidding around. Then in October when I went to NYC with my mom and sister, I was so damn tired, but I blamed it on the travel. I still as in denial. When Christmas rolled around, I was beat. I was tired, weak, and barely able to function. I would literally doze off at work and hope to god I didn't snore in my office. I still thought that there was so many other things to blame my exhaustion on. Too much work. Not enough sleep. Doing too much. Guess what... it was just my body slowing down. February 24, 2010 changed everything. I went to Clarkson, had a port placed in my chest, and the rest is history. I started dialysis and this adventure of Kidney Transplantation.

It has been a long few months with a lot of changes. I started dialysis in a clinic 3 times a week. I then had surgery that placed a rubber tube in my belly. I now do dialysis every night while I sleep. I have been placed on a transplant list, and I just sit and wait. People are supportive. People are helpful. And this weekend, this is a big weekend. My amazing sister has planned a very very impressive dinner and fundraiser. She has taken a lot of time out her life and even all the other people who have assisted. People are just amazing and I again am thankful.

I will once again go over the event so that people get what is happening. It is like 2 fundraisers in one day. Golf is at 1:30 for all of those people who have signed up to play. For those who won't be golfing, they can come to a Sloppy Joe feed from 3 to 6... after 6 we will be having music and lots of great donated auction items.

Again, please please come and help support me, and the amazing event that will be taking place. I can't stop singing the song, "Omigod you guys..." its like I can't believe it is here and the weather should be amazing!!
