Type A

No, the title does not refer to my personality, although some would beg to differ. No, that is the result of the blood typing we did for the transplant. It's great news. We originally had thought that I may be type O which would have limited my donors to only O. Now I can take both O and A. Since A+ is second only to type O+ in commonality, there are a LOT of possible donors running around. Very happy day.

Saw some people at my mom's retirement party that I hadn't seen in awhile which was nice. One of those was Jill Carey. She's the former minister at the church we used to attend. She is also the same person who married Khristina and I. She is an amazing person to talk to. No matter how dire your situation or wound up you may be, she has just the right thing to say. Especially when that right thing is absolutely nothing and she just grabs ya and give you a hug. These aren't just any hugs, either. These are no-joke-lotsa-love kinda hugs. It's gonna be great that she'll be around for all this and for all of us.

So, with any luck, we are hoping for a date of June 16th for them to be presenting my case. Hopefully I can be on the list by July. So with their 8.5 month average waiting time.....

C'mon, sing it with me! "All I want for Christmas is a brand new heart! A brand new heart! A brand new heart!"
