Not so lovely hospital pix

I am so relieved that my week in the hospital is over.  I do feel so blessed to have made it through and I know I was watched over by my Heavenly Father and lots of earthly angels too.  Chris, my family and ward family were so wonderful to help me

My ugly laproscopic scar

still I'm grateful it wasn't a long incision!

Day Before Surgery

Well I am quite nervous but at the same time I feel peace that everything will turn out well with my surgery.
I will have my kidney removed tomorrow (Nephrectomy).  I was given a priesthood blessing by our Stake
President, President Neilson,  and I was promised that I would recover and that in fact I would later find
out that the surgery would save my life.

Since that blessing, I have found out that if I were to leave the kidney in and then if I were to get
hit hard in that area or be involved in an accident, I could bleed to death.
I do know that I must go through with this surgery and I will be so glad when this next week is over :)
