... TILL THURSDAY
Late yesterday afternoon, we received a call from Mayo saying two hearts had arrived for transplant patients who have been waiting patiently, and thus two surgeries had to be cancelled to free operating rooms, one of which had been reserved for me. My surgery is now scheduled for Thursday morning.
Before receiving the call from Mayo, I’d gathered these photos to commemorate moments enjoyed with our immediate family, which, hopefully, we’ll all enjoy, together, repeatedly, once I’m well.
Today, I awoke feeling a bit flat, knowing that at this moment, my surgery would have been half way done. Then I began to read a cornucopia of in-coming emails sent, this morning, from family and friends, and spontaneously, my spirit regained its natural sense of buoyancy.π
Needless to say, I’m glad to know that two heart transplant patients and their families and friends are hopeful that their loved ones will soon be on the mend—just as, on Thursday, hopefully, the same will prove true with no further delay for me …
