All Hail The Organ Donors!
Forums:
My wife of 22 years, Linda, has bravely offered to donate a kidney to her brother, Michael, in NYC.
She has not posted here since joining under Her Name Was McGill, but she called herself Lil 
.
(Gotta love everyone who knew her as Nancy
).
Linda has been in NYC since Wednesday the 6th undergoing testing.
The transplant surgery is on December 13th and the return flight to Ohio is on December 24th.
I miss the love of my life!

Please pass along my regards
Please pass along my regards to Linda. She is strong, courageous and generous to donate her kidney. It's a beautiful thing. Much love. Of course you miss her, she's your person, and she sounds like a very special person.
Here's some cake for both of you, and brother Michael, too.

Thank you for all the kind
Thank you for all the kind words Zoners!
I have an update on the procedure. The transplant has been postponed indefinitely.
The EKG test results for Linda have indicated she has a leaky heart valve.
She must return to Ohio and see a cardiologist to fix the valve problem before the transplant can proceed. Linda, Michael and family are devastated by the news.
The silver lining is that the heart condition may have been fatal for her within the next ten years if it went undiagnosed.
I will update the thread as developments warrant. Thanks again for the love!
