Today marks two years since Mike’s kidney transplant. We have been beyond blessed to have had so few issues since then. Not everyone has such a smooth post-transplant process. We still have monthly labs, quarterly check ups, and yearly in-depth check ups, but the contrast between life today and life before transplant is stark. Our… Continue reading Two Year Kidneyversary
I’ve often wondered if we were actually ever meant to hear the stream of consciousness of hundreds of people on a daily basis.
