Kidney a No Go

...or should we use "Kidney a No No"?  Hm.  Can't decide.  Let's hope this is the last time I'll need to use it.

Back home in Seattle after a whirlwind 48-hour trip.  Here's a synopsis:
1.  Get up at 4:30, leave for the airport at 5:10, wait 1/2 hour to check our goddamn bag, wait another 1/2 hour in goddamn security line, get to the goddamn gate during the "board all passengers" period.  Stress!!
2.  Fly to MSP, check in to hotel, feel paranoia increase about getting sick, stay in slightly scary hotel room from 2pm-on watching sitcom reruns and eating Chinese takeout.
3.  Get up at 6:15 to get to U of M Hospital, have 1,534 vials of blood drawn, get chest x-ray, EKG, and then find out that the transplant can't occur on this day.
4.  Feel immense disappointment for just a few seconds, get visits from about 18 doctors to explain the situation, feel awful for my sister who is beside herself, then get into heavy problem-solving mode with Al.
5.  Within one hour of #4, book a new flight out, cancel our hotel, rebook Miso's boarding, book a new surgery date (11/24), book a new flight for the surgery week, book a new hotel for surgery week, call or e-mail everyone who might be interested in developments.
6.  Go to airport and have 4 vodka tonics, get on plane, fly home.
7.  Contact our transplant coordinator to ask for a new medical explanation letter for work, contact HR and my manager to figure out how to move my short-term disability time period.

We're exhausted.

Anyway, transplant rescheduled for 11/24 (yep, day before Thanksgiving).  It will work this time.  If it doesn't, can we borrow 5 bucks?
