Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

I always have to laugh a little when I think about those "life and death" decisions we make as teenagers. Remember how you would just die if you made the wrong choice? We were sure that these decisions were the toughest we were ever going to have to face. Oh how little we knew about life when we were that age. And after-all, we were invincible and indestructible at that point in our lives. No adult could ever possibly understand what we were going through, that was un-thinkable.

I'm not sure that this upcoming decision about a kidney transplant is the toughest that I have ever had to make, but it ranks right up there. So much information to concider. So much risk involved. Will it work, how long will it last, will my life improve or will I just be pushing one thing aside to deal with something different? Is all of this real or am I just having a really bad dream?

Un fortunately, I know it's all real. I know it's my life and my problem and I will deal with it. I will consider all the information and I will talk to my Dr. and my family. My decision will not be rash or quick coming and it will affect the rest of my life. And just like those teenage decisions, I could just die if this decision isn't the right one.
