FATHER TROY's TRANSPLANT JOURNAL.........#5...

Another full and active day for me counting down to departure for Phoenix and my kidney transplant on Aug. 25. After celebrating the 6:30 a.m. Mass at Presentation Parish and having breakfast I drove down to the Pastoral Center for a transplant needs meeting with a member of the Bishop's staff, who failed to appear. So I headed off to Folsom for my final pre-transplant dental appointment and then after lunch with a parishioner went to Orangevale to do my 375th dialysis treatment. While in the dialysis chair I continued addressing the two dozen items to be completed before I leave for the Mayo Clinic Arizona in Phoenix on Aug. 23. Tonight, after getting back to my quarters and chillaxing for an hour or so I went to La Rosa Blanca Restaurant for dinner and had a very moving conversation with Jeremy, my primary caregiver who will be gong with me and my twin sisters to Phoenix.........Fr.
