so I will be married for a year on 31st of this month...immediately going into wedding plans for our best man who is getting married this year on November 4th.  I am adamant my husband includes me on the bachelor party because it's great adventure.  need this. unless it's go carts or paintball.  then no.

important news:  I have not used my wheelchair since May.  on cane/and/or brace.  Pokemon go has been amazing in getting me to walk more.  still hit a platue.

i was invited back to the Renaissance faire for next season.  fingers crossed I can move enough for it.  because right now?  i need to leave 5 hours early.

two years of waiting, and i finally have a full cartilage graft from a donor!!!!  only bad points, it's a 6 hour round trip for surgery (not counting the surgery), and it's TOMORROW!!!  i got the call today.  usually, there's a 7 day grace period to get a physical and blood tests...but nope.  i'm going straight in because there are no other surgical slots available while the tissue is viable.

if you're wondering, i've got the usual panic.  i schedule everything, this is not on the list.  i don't even have time to slowly panic (something my family and friends have been dealing with awesomely today).  not only can't i eat after midnight eastern time, but we're not even sure this will take.  being positive that i will be running and flipping as of next winter.  there are, unfortunately, very real odds i'll be stuck with my cane or confined to my wheelchair till next possible surgery, but i'm optimistic (as least now).  basically, guys, if you have any good wishes/prayers/thoughts, please send them my way.  i need this to work.  honestly, wheelchair sports look epic, but i want to be just WALKING again, without a cane or distance issues. i don't want to need a wheelchair to go to the grocery store, or a craft store, or any other store that i don't know my item is within 20 feet of the parkinglot.  i don't want to need handicapped parking anymore.

tl;dr: i got a donor.  this may or may not take.  i'm scared.  i have surgery tomorrow.

a whole year...

3 min read
a year ago today, i received my first 'you need to use this all the time' wheelchair.
last week, i got the news that i'm officially on the transplant list for the experimental surgery that may allow me to walk again.
i'm on call for surgery any time between now and 3 months from now (which it better not be, not with 6 months recovery...that's hitting the wedding).

well, at least my fiancee is taking me out to dinner tonight. get my mind off the whole pre-transplant checklist and do something fun for my birthday :).
