Wednesday?

Tomorrow morning is the transplant surgery, so we're hanging around the hotel. Katie is a little goofy--she's working on gin and tonic #3, her "clear liquid" of choice for the next 45 minutes, when she has to switch to water.

I'm hoping that everything went well with the substitute today. Hopefully she found everything and the kids listened to her...and hopefully she'll be back tomorrow!

I'm quite sleep deprived. Here is my post on the transplant blog from earlier this afternoon:

"Well, I made it, but it was certainly a long haul to get here. The red eye flight is tiring, but I did have the benefit of a lovely exit row seat, giving me all of the leg room I could want. Plus, the guy sitting next to me was pretty friendly (and seemed quite appreciative when I shared my chocolate with him). Contrary to what I had heard, the Detroit airport was quite nice. I guess it used to be awful, but was remodeled. At 5:15 Eastern time (2:15 brain time) I had a yummy first breakfast of breakfast sandwich, hashbrowns, and fresh orange juice. Then I tried unsuccessfully to sleep until my 9:10 flight. Thankfully I was able to sleep for a bit during the hour and a half flight to Madison, as the plane wasn't full, so I moved to an empty row.

"The driver for the hotel was nice. He took me on a tour of the UW campus on our way back to the hotel and told me all about the buildings and places around Madison. Of course, when I got to the room they were just beginning to clean it, so I dropped off my things and went down the hall for second breakfast. Then I took a shower and figured out how to log onto the internet. Now, I'm watching TV and clearly, I'm on the internet. Katie and Paula should be back from the hotel soon. Hopefully I'll manage to fall asleep for a bit first.

"I seem to recall seeing some weird (CNN) news broadcast twice while I was half asleep in Detroit, about some man who claims to be pregnant. I'm going to go google it."
