So the deal is surgery on Tuesday, September 8th at 6am in my adopted city of Seattle, in my second home, the hospital of UWMC.
Keith will be posting and keep ya'll updated until I come back to this planet after surgery and all the crazy drugs.
If you haven't read the email, or did not receive it, I am having surgery to fix my herniated liver. My liver is herniating through my diaphragm, and has been causing me serious pain for the past few months. This surgery is to put my liver back where it belongs, patch up my diaphragm, and hopefully alleviate the pain I have been having.
I sincerely apologize for having let the blog die, after all of the support you all have given me and my parents you deserve to be kept updated.
I love you all, and thank you for all you have done for me and my folks through this epic journey of transplant.
