Approved as a donor !!!!!

After a long, painful and very stressful period of four weeks the transplant unit in Chicago approved me as a donor this morning. We have not discussed when the surgery will happen. Specifically, if they insist on finishing the TB medicine regimen then it will be in January otherwise it will sometime in December. They are insisting on a gap of three weeks between the marathon and the surgery. IMO, the three weeks is a made up number. They have no data to base this upon and have no experience/understanding on a what a marathon does a body and its organs.

I am waiting to hear back from Madison's transplant unit. Hopefully by the end of the week.
