10-17.
I thought a lot about stress at work and how my absence may affect my coworkers.
Well, this evening my wife was hoping for details for planning and what family protocols are supposed to be at the hospital on surgery day. Does she need to stay there or just drop me off. She said she was feeling some anxiety now and up till now may have been in a bit of denial. So this is another real factor. What will this look like over the few days I’m at the hospital? At home. Recovering. Or what happens if my body, mind, and soul suddenly no longer remain one-single entity on this earth? Stuff does happen and there is a slight risk of death with nearly any type of surgery. But again, if the transplant team has vetted me and approved to go, this is another example of something I cannot control and will need to rely on God and place the outcome in his hands not only for me but the other recipient and donor as well.
