Setting a date

Mr. M's transplant has been scheduled for September 14. Finally! This should be a big relief, but he's a little worried and so am I, because he hasn't really recovered from the last surgery.

But we have to trust that his doctors and surgeons wouldn't go ahead with it if they didn't think he was ready for it. They wouldn't let a healthy young donor take on the risk if they didn't the the odds were in their favor.

From a longer perspective, it's more than time. It seems like his health is going to keep deteriorating without it; I'd hate to see it postponed again.

The semester's gotten off to a pretty good start. I like all my classes. All the journal work starts tomorrow.
