Long day of surgery coming, about 4-6 weeks of recovery, and a lifetime taking very expensive immunosuppressant drugs, but sure beats dialysis for 4-6 hours a day for three days a week while trying to run a business.

I would appreciate your prayers and encourage all of you to sign your donor card. Lots of people needing kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, corneas, pancreas and other parts none of us will need when we are gone.

Thanks,

Good luck and God Bless you and your sister. Regards Joe Furlong
