19 days

Well, we are 19 days away from Part 2 of the Kidney Adventure. Let me do some clarification. I am tired. I am soooo soooo tired. I try so hard to do things, keep going, etc... but in the long run, it just wears me out for a few days. I have decided that over the next two weekends I am going to rest. I am very low on FMLA time at Goodwill and am trying to work my 32 hours a week. On November 11 I will have used up my 12 weeks of FMLA for one year, and I will be "Medically Terminated" at my current position. My goal is to come back to Goodwill within 3 months so I can "bridge" my employment. Bridging my employment will keep my tenure and well, that's about it. I have been there 5 years, and I want my picture on that damn wall!!


With such a short time left before the surgery, I am not sure what people can do to help. I am really just working and relaxing. I check in with Lolz and Patti everyday because they too are on pins and needles. My goal is just to stay strong and healthy enough for the 26th to still be the day. My luck, I get an infection and this has to be postponed. I am prepared for that! You should be too.

Patti will be running the Blog and Facebook for a few days after the surgery. I don't think that I will be doing status updates for a bit. Email me any questions or concerns you may have... I just know that people have a lot they wonder, and I can try to answer to the best of my ability.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the nice fall weather... I am sure there will be some updates as I REALLLYYYYY begin to panic and freak out at every little hair, itch, pain, etc.... 19 days. I must keep calm. (VERY HARD FOR ME!!!!) Love to all.
