31 January - Sunday

Slept in until 7:30am -- can't remember that last time I slept that late. Worked out at the great Gym in the basement of Gerry's apartment.

In the afternoon we did a dry run to the hospital to make sure we knew the subway system and where we had to go at the hospital.

By noon it was evident that the 24 hour collection bottle was nowhere near large enough. No pharmacies sell these things so we had to go to plan B and find a bottle with a wide mouth and secure top -- we could not find anything in supermarkets or even Bed Bath and Beyond. The final solution was to get a funnel and large water bottle.

Kate - if you get this kidney, you are going to have to change your life style.
