It’s July 1st, and today would have been the day I was admitted to the hospital. Things have changed a little.

The transplant has been delayed by at least a couple of weeks while additional testing is conducted. My feelings on this are complicated. The reprieve is nice on one hand—I get a little more time to take care of some things before the transplant and recovery. On the other, it feels a bit like prolonging the inevitable. Mostly, though, I don’t care as long as everything—and everyone—turns out okay.

Meanwhile, I’ve been thinking a lot about the various components of my life and experiences that have made me the person I am today, and I plan to write a series of entries about that soon—or, rather, a series of the handful of topics that I think might be interesting to readers.

We’ll see how that goes. The best laid plans…and all that.
