Most regular readers know that Tuffy P is going to be a living donor, giving up a significant part of her liver – which will quickly regenerate – so that somebody who needs a new liver to live can have a fighting chance.

Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning. We have to be at Toronto General for 6:00 AM and the surgery, which will take from 6-8 hours, will start sometime after 8:00 AM. Between 3:00 and 5:00, her surgery will be completed and she’ll be transferred to the recovery room for 2-3 hours then will be sent to the step down unit on the 10th floor. It’s going to be a long day.

I’ll be updating friends and family as best I can. I’ll also do my best to respond to emails and texts as quickly as I can. I appreciate everyone’s patience. I’ll try to post an update on Facebook at some point in the evening, when I have an opportunity.

Thanks everyone for your support and well-wishes!
