Hey, guys.

I only just remembered that it was Saturday (and that, therefore, I needed to write an Open Thread for Sunday) at 10 p.m. The reason for that is that Kate got her transplant this week. She is doing well. But it is a time of great optimism and trepidation, and it has completely turned our lives on their collective ear.

So here is your Open Thread.

To start it off, how about a sea shanty?

And also my best energies for you and your extended families.

You have all been so brave and steadfast. There's much to admire.

It's really nice to hear that, because it's not something I can readily see from the inside, if you know what I mean!

May she travel through this journey safely. You have been dealing with this a long time and do not probably need any advice just good wishes and thoughts.

The kidney has been steady as a drum from the get-go; the pancreas had one small setback that they corrected. They now feel confident enough to close her up.
