Today has been a long day. I got up at 4:30am and drove to north Scottsdale (34 miles away) and have spent the whole day at the Mayo clinic getting my initial testing done for being a living kidney donor. I have met my amazing team here and they are all bright and super friendly. They have all set aside my fears of donating, and also brought up some other internal concerns. I just need to trust God with the possible concerns that came up for the first time. I have already also been stuck twice, once for over 10 vials of blood, and also for now I have a catheter in my arm for the contrast that they are going to pump me full of for my CT scan. The only issue I have with all my days at the Mayo clinic is the distance and the time at which it occurs. I know that is a selfish concern, but still it wears on my patience, time, and finances. Am I scared, of course, but will it be worth it, you becha!
