Today Molly, Mom, and i met with the chief surgeon of transplants for UMC Tucson. He answered a lot of our questions and explained exactly what will happen before, during and after the surgery. They are going to take my left kidney out because it is bigger and they will put it in Molly's right side. He said my remaining kidney will then work overtime and grow to compensate for the loss of the other. Recovery should be about a week, with no heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks. That will be the hardest part, nothing over 5 pounds for 2 months. I will stay in Tucson for about a week, Molly will have to be there for a few weeks.
Time to nap before the midnight shift and dream about life with one kidney :)
