the start of the collection...

i started my collection this morning, with the first pee at 6:30am. so far so good (i've only gone twice now-- it is only 9:30am). it is a little awkward walking up and down the hall at work with a container of pee-- even though it is in a plastic bag. some people look at me funny, but no one has asked what is in the bag yet. today is going by slowly, and mostly i am just planning out my day for tomorrow. figuring out how i am going to take the train and subway in the city while carrying my urine and pretending it's normal, haha. but hey, if someone asks, i'll just tell them.

anyway, if anything crazy happens during the day with the urine collection, i'll let you know. so far, nothing exciting though! :)

I recently read your article written in the New Yorker Magazine. I am so disappointed about the things you said. It's one thing to be honest and another thing to speak about another individual, who also went through an ordeal dealing with sickness and recovery, in such a horrible way. Unfortunately, your message which was to spread the "gift of life" is not the message that was sent. I feel no one would ever want to donate a kidney after reading your article.

Sadly,
