I love this picture of my Dad. It is totally him at the ball park. Baseball hat, sunglasses, clipboard in hand, and last but not least, the toothpick! My dad hasn't spent as many days as he would have liked at the ballpark this last year because of his health.
Some of you may know that he has been on Dialysis this last year, and it has really been hard on him. He has lost over 100 pds to get ready for this transplant!!! The surgery is scheduled for Friday October 24th. My brother Matt who lives in Idaho Falls has been tested and is a match to be the donor for my Dad! They will both be coming down here next week for their final appt. on Wed. and will both be in the hospital recovering for 6-7 days. We will be having lots of family staying with us during this time. We have been talking about it for so long, that I can't actually believe the time is here!
Dad, I want you to know I am proud of you for sticking with "the plan" and loosing all your weight and all the many other things you have had to do to get yourself ready for this! Good Luck, I hope everything goes great, so you can be back where you want to be... on the BALLFIELD!
