Here I am at the 2018 Trasnplantiversary. Another year post-transplant – seven now. And as far as the transplant goes, it’s all good. There has been some deterioration, but no worse than a “normal” person suffers over an average year. At least, that’s what my new, slightly more aggressive nephrologist tells me anyway. The colonoscopy…
About the March of Progress
A harbinger of the March of Progress knocked on my door the other day. She’s a Real Estate agent, and apparently, she’s “very good friends” with my neighbours, though she didn’t specify which ones. Seeing as she’s selling the house next door, I guess she thinks I know which neighbours she knows very well. She wondered if I’d…
Housekeeping Standard Practices

In the Quiet Time
Hard as it is to imagine now, there was a time when I didn’t drink coffee. But now my most favourite time of the day is first thing, with my coffee. The quiet time. Before anything happens. Well, not before I’ve made the coffee and let Pretty Girl (my surviving dog) out, but before the big stuff…
