I've gotta do what?

Holy cow! So I get this kit in Fedx from UCSF (thats the University of California San Francisco, that's where Clint's doctors are and where the surgery would be) Medical Center, Transplant Services (April 14th)with a list of the first big round of tests that I have coming up (oh and another little tube to put my blood in to send back Fedx to them, yuck!). I'm going to to scan it and attempt to post it on this blog for your viewing pleasure. I will basically be peeing in lots of cups, sharing lots of blood and having the most thorough physical examination of my life. If there is anything wrong with me, they are going to find it.

Guess me and Dr. Jackson are going to be busy...

On Tuesday (April 13th) the donor advocate calls me for my social worker evaluation (the last item on the list reference above, so I can mark that one off). It lasted 45 minutes where she asked me questions about bits of my social and education back ground, who was in my family, what I like to do for fun, etc... She asked me in 8 different ways if I was getting any kind of financial compensation for this or if I was made to feel guilty or pressured into doing this. They are very serious about your motives and they want to make sure that this was all your own idea. She was very sweet and I enjoyed talking to her.

She told me, that its a felony to sell vital organs in the U.S., I couldn't help but laugh when she said that. That does make a lot of since I guess.

So, today's lesson is, drink lots of water and don't sell body parts on the black market.
