Post-op report

 

Jake is out of surgery. It went very well. The kidney is already working, which is a big improvement over last time (where it took weeks to kick in). 

It looks like it hurts a lot (because it does):

When the surgeon came out to give us the report, she said that he told the surgery team "I love you guys. You are saving my life."  And then the anesthesia knocked him out. She said that nobody had ever told her anything like that before, and that the surgery team was choked up. 

We are waiting to get moved out of post-op into a room. That may take a few more hours. Or not. Jake is texting his friends, so he's mostly awake. He did note that he'd probably have to skip yoga class today.
