I got the call around 4:30pm. At the hospital before 5:30. They did preliminary labs, shaved my chest, got me started on prograf.

Then I had to wait many hours for the ‘recovery team’ to extract the lungs to see if they were any good.

Around 12:30a on the 16th I got word it was a go. Before they wheeled me to OR, I sent this message to George:

Take a deep breath, hold it for a count of 5, then blow it out slowly. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Man ain't that a great feeling!
