Feeling good, like I should...

First off…Thank you! 

I’M REALLY MISSING SEEING ALL OF YOU!

I am positively overwhelmed with gratitude for the over 35 people who filled out the interest form to be evaluated as a living donor, dozens of whom have graciously contributed to the goFundME campaign, and the countless prayers and words of encouragement. I am continually uplifted by friends and blessed to be surround by supportive family.

A few quick updates:

• Duke has confirmed at least two people are in the final stages of evaluation to be living donors and is hopeful of an approval soon.

• Next steps would be for me to have a pre-procedure evaluation and from there schedule the procedure.

• Time line is a bit iffy right now with Covid and availability of staff but my coordinator expects reasonably to be scheduling the procedure by mid November if all goes well with my pre-op evaluation.

• If you completed the donor form you should have at the very least received an email from Duke’s Living Donor program by now. If you have not received an email, please call Duke directly to follow up as unfortunately I do not have any formal updates beyond what they have communicated to you directly.

• In general I’m feeling pretty good and in high spirits, eating well and exercising regularly. Some days carry more fatigue than others but all in all I’m doing my best to take care of myself.

I will continue to post updates here on my health updates blog as I receive them.
