September 23rd

Hello readers out there in internet land! Since I wrote last in August, I’ve had a few blog post beginnings that either did not capture my attention or were too fraught to make sense of and stick with. I’ll say quickly that a few days after coming home, life went abruptly back to normal. In-services started for a new school year, then the year itself, and finally my two courses at the U kicked off last week. I’ve been very, happily, busy. My energy levels are better than I can remember, and I’m no longer cold all the time. In fact, and I can’t remember if I mentioned this, but I sweat now. Like, a lot. And that’s new for me. I assume that’s the price of having a lot of energy, and I’ll take it. The kidney continues to work like a dream, my days are full, and C and I have travel plans coming up. Life is good.

Next Friday, the 23rd, marks 100 days post-transplant; the benchmark for being out of the high-risk woods. To celebrate all of this wonderfulness, we’re hosting a party! I sent an email to a few folks last week and meant to follow-up with this invite and it got away from me. But please join us! I’m not going to post our address here - you either know where we live already or know me well enough to ask. J We’ll have some snacks and some beverages, and you’re welcome to bring something to share if you like. The event is spouse, partner, friend, parent, kiddo, etc, friendly. We have dogs as an FYI for those with allergies. We’ll get underway around 7 and probably wrap up in the 10 – 11 range like responsible adults.

I hope to see you on the 23rd! Thanks for reading!
