Although my medical reports were not good, I felt fit and fine enough to travel internationally, alone. I arrived in Bangalore on 3rd May - starting the countdown to the transplant. My life seemed and felt 'normal' but I was going to be ill soon - walking into illness in a few days - I was going to feel sick in a few days - I could not imagine this. I had never had the smallest of a surgery in my life...here I was getting ready for a Kidney transplant. phew!
13th May my mom and I got ourselves to the hospital. My brother & sis-in-law from Mumbai, parents in law from Lucknow, aunt from Delhi, were all there with us. Despite the big upcoming event, the mood was relatively upbeat.
15th morning, 6:30 am the nurses came to take us to the operation theatre (OT). Finally, I felt fear taking over me. Owing to watching soaps like Greys Anotomy, ER etc, I had this phobia of all the things that could go wrong inside the OT and wondered if we would come out alive.
I couldn't let the fear show so my mom remained strong...
As we were rolled into the OT, I saw the family waving to us and raising their thumbs up...then it was sedation time...
