Day 2 update

Well, some coherence has returned to my foggy brain and tired body. I just came from the Team USA meeting, meeting over 80 transplant athletes from all over the country, their loved ones, donor families, and living donors, for a total team of 164! A very pumped up team, btw.

I was able to sleep from 9:30pm to 5:45 am today (Saturday), though staying up til nighttime was a challenge. It was recommended to me by many people to get on the OZ schedule asap, to recover well from the monster trip on a monster 747 w/ 2 levels. First class was on top, in case you are wondering.

I enjoyed some Vietnamese chicken rice noodle soup last night, eating outside w/ fellow team members. I am on the 22nd floor in a corner room, w/ a view of the ocean and the strip, including hotels, lakes, shopping centers, and a casino, all beautifully lighted up at night. Someone has to suffer in a room, like this, why not me?

Hopefully some pics will be up later tonight! Special thanks to all my supporter!
