yes tyefly.

[tyefly]

Well I did get a letter from my transplant center.... but I didnt get one from UNOS...... Now I am wondering if I am on the List with UNOS....   maybe I am only on the transplant center  list.......   I wonder How I can find out.....

[paris]

I have been listed at three centers and only got letters from each center (one being Johns Hopkins).  But, I know I am listed. The surgeon says I am "hovering" at the top.  So, I know I am not forgotten.  I think you are fine tyefly.          Great news, Marc!

Waiting for good news about Chris.   

Went to 2 grands talent show last night. They are on the school dance team and were adorable.  Tonight is another grands play "The Princess and the Frog".  And tomorrow is our Pajama Pals open house.  I am tired, tired---but it is a good tired. 

And it is FRIDAY!!  Suppose to be mid 60's this weekend. Yea!!  Sun is shining and spring is coming.

Getting one from your Transplant Center is good enough. I would call your transplant center and ask them to clarify for you, but idk why you wouldn't be on the UNOS list if they told you that you were listed.

ok warning...mini-rant. 
My sister just texted me "It would be nice if you or our brother could take Mom out to dinner once a month. Get her away from her boyfriend." I said "it would be nice if someone took me out, all i have done the last 6 weeks is kidney stress." She said "not sure what that means.  what is kidney stress?"
She really has no clue, I am thinking. I said, "i have gone through anger, grief, denial, fear, and i guess i am finally approaching acceptance. mourning the slow death of Patrices kidney, trying to figure out what to do next, fending off dialysis and worried about Jennas anemia and fatigue."
She said "I can't ever know what you are going through that way. My heart breaks for all of you.. Jenna for having to go through this... You, as a Mom that fought hard to get medical help for my kid, I do understand the anguish."
Me: "it's going to be this way her whole life"
She said, "yes, that is kind of overwhelming to look at it that way..."

Uhhh ok.

I am on break!  Hurray! Hurray!

Bright and sunny today - the sap is running and the sugar houses are scurrying around boiling and probably staying up half the night.  Let the maple syrup making begin!!!!

Take care everyone and congrats everyone for being listed on the transplant lists. 

I hope Chris is getting better.

I win

My friend brought my laptop to the hospital. But won't spend to much time on it right now. I am also getting retested for c-diff again. Antibiotics were stopped to bring fever down and the diarrhea. Sti ll have trouble coughing and breathing, so getting up for long I get winded and dizzy. That is odd to me. I have a cat scan scheaduled to look in my head later today, breathing treatments have been switched to hand held devices  like asthma patients have. That in it's self is odd because they tell me these are better at getting more med into system than the nebulizer connected to the wall
 
Still not my self, hard to say something funny.

[YLGuy]

Glad you are able to check in and give us an update.  We are all worried about you.

[Lisa]

[Lisa]

[Slywalker]

Morning IHD - nice sun shiny day here again today.  The sap will flow by this afternoon.  Temps suppose to be in the mid-30s today.   

I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

  

[Pam]

Happy Sunday IHD! The sun is shining and hopefully more of this white stuff will be gone today. We have company...a flock of 10 wild turkeys have been showing up everyday in our back yard. Country life is good.

Morning,

as always I Hate Mondays!

Chris, I hope you had a wonderful birthday-weekend.
What prezzies did you get.?

[YLGuy]

I think you meant Marc.  I am a single dad.  I don't have another adult in my life to buy me presents to open.  I have the best gift a father could ask for.  3 beautiful healthy children. 

[Slywalker]

Morning IHD - sun STILL shining - spring is in the air - hopefully everyone at work today will be happy as a result of sunny skies for a change - even though it is a Monday.

Have a great day Everyone.

I was asked to speak at a smoking cessation class tonight.  Day 101 without a cigarette.

High 60's today with bright blue skies.        Come on Spring!!

We have been having trouble with our phone line lately. 4 times, 911 has been called by our phone in the middle of the night. We can't call out on the phone nor receive calls---just lots of static. But it can automatically call 911 at 4 in the morning!  In my quiet little neighborhood, police cars showing up in the middle of the night is NOT usual.   ATT keeps saying there is nothing wrong with the lines!  So, we switched to Vonage--buh bye ATT!  And my bill will be half of what it has been.   I am tired and grumpy this morning. It scares you when you hear loud banging at your front door at 4am. 

On a better note, our Pajama Pal drive was a huge success.  80 pairs of pajamas and 364 books for children in need.      Our own Jess21 overnighted a big box of new pajamas!!  What a wonderful surprise.  The grandkids were very excited to open that box.  Thanks Jesse!!!

[okarol]

  Great job with Pajama Pals paris - such a great cause. Very cool that Jess helped out!

It rained here yesterday but looks like most of the storm has moved through. The local mountains got a beautiful layer of snow, but it won't last long.

I am still picking navel oranges off the tree in our yard, they are perfect right now. I should trade some for my neighbors tangerines and lemons, she has a huge crop!

My back has been hurting for 5 days so I have been being careful and using a heating pad. I have so much to do but I want to heal, so I am taking it easy. It's so boring though, I have watched more tv than ever! New shows Parenthood and Modern Family are great. Also watched the movie "Lars and the Real Girl" which was good, and have seen the entire season of LA Ink, Celebrity Rehab, Hung, Bad Girls Club, Mad Men and anything else I can get on Cable on Demand.

Sorry Marc... The kidney failure is taking it's toll

Did the kids not make you cards or anything? I would have baked you a cake if I were closer.

Karol --  I think my family is the Modern Family.   At the Pajama Pals open house we had:  Melissa's ex, his new wife, their new baby, 2 drag queens, a Southern Baptist, a couple of very conservatives and a few liberals!!!  Oh, yeah and a Muslim.  Hmmmm--- did we miss any group???   Volunteers all look the same to me!  Big hearts and willing hands           I hope your back starts improving. You have had so much stress the past couple of months.  Your body finally is making you stop.  Take care.

Des, that is why I like everyone here----- we all have the same memory problems!!   

[Slywalker]

Morning IHD - still sunny in the northeast - it is unbelievable really to have such nice weather so many days in a row.  Me and my doggies are quickly becoming spoiled.   

Have a great day everyone.
