A Gift of Love With deepest gratitude I want to thank you for all your kind prayers and best wishes during and following the surgeries of my sister Kay, and I. The outpouring of love and kindness from everyone has been overwhelming.
Your prayers made the transplant successful and are making our recovery
much easier. The surgery was a complete success. Kay's new kidney
began functioning almost immediately and she is feeling better than
she has in many years. I kept telling her that she had been "down"
so long she had forgotten what "up" was like and she now
agrees. It is a blessing beyond words to see her looking healthy,
bright and shiny with so much energy and a good appetite. Her color
went from gray to pink and she says she wakes up early every day full
of energy and ready to meditate! Her doctor said her kidney tests
showed that it was functioning as well as his.
My surgery began on Tuesday March 8th at 7:30 a.m. and took between
3 and 4 hours. I was completely out of it that whole day. Sat Jivan
Kaur said I looked pretty beat up when she saw me - I don't really
remember. I recovered in the hospital the next 2 days and was released
on Friday afternoon to the University Townhouses across the street
from the hospital. I was there for about a week. I have been getting
better each day since. While recovery has not been without a hitch,
it has been steady. We stayed in Alabama long enough to see my sister
begin to get up and around and feel the surge of energy from her new
kidney. Seeing Kay do so well is all that's necessary to know that
a miracle has taken place in our lives. I am so grateful that I could
do this for her. I spent the early part of my life as a taker. Kay
was always a giver. It was only right that I be able to give to her
this time. I have had to work very hard to become a giver in life.
It didn't come naturally to me. I have tried to use both my legal
training and my teaching yoga to give to people. And this has always
been rewarding and satisfying. But nothing I have ever done has been
as satisfying or moving as giving a kidney to my sister. This is one
of the most transcendent things I have thus far done in my life. Giving
her the gift of life was truly sublime. With my deepest gratitude and love,
