Good News

She came out of surgery, everything went perfect so far. It'll be at least 24 hrs until we know for sure how well the body accepts the kidney, but all indications are like 100% so far.

Going to drink since I can't see her for awhile, if at all tonight.

Hospital

At Loyola Medical Center in Chicago burbs, waiting on word about my girlfriend. She's in surgery right now, it kind of hit me hard this morning when she was being taken away, I wasn't like a wreck or anything but my body just felt like shit for a few hours. Her sister who is donating the kidney came out fine and is recovering in a normal room now, so the first part went well. Obviously the second part is the much riskier part, if the kidney will take, as well as a million other bad things that have small chances of happening. If it was a straight money bet it would be the surest thing in the world, but it's a life so it's actually a scary thing.

Anyways, I truly think everything will be ok, but there's always those thoughts in the back of your mind. I should know how it went within the next 2-3 hours.

I won a couple 110s 2-3 days ago, so the degen br is at like 7 something. Haven't played since then, was contemplating playing some 5 dollar PLO HUSNGs to get my mind off of this, but forum browsing and the occasional IM convo has kept me about as normal as I could feel now.
