We know each other, perhaps not really well but we do know each other. What you may not know about me is when I was a young teen I had over 2/3rd of my left kidney removed. Now Im 45 and in pretty decent health for an older guy. I lead a perfectly normal life. (haha...thats a matter of opinion)
Its always scary to have someone "go in" but look at it from the other side...when they are done you can go on leading a perfectly healthy..(er) life.
Go into this with a strong and positive attitude. Knowing what little I do know about you ......Im confident you will come out even stronger and better. All fixed up!
Be cool and thanx for sharing your thoughts!
