Life's been back to normal since Mauritius. My kidneys are a lot better than before the trip. Will have them tested again on Friday. Yay for the new anti-rejection medication combo! Celebrated 2 birthdays this weekend... Fawn and my mom's.
On Thursday we attended "Dinner in the Dark" in Pretoria. It was a Round Table event to raise money for vision-related stuff (my scientific explanation!). It was very nice and felt like we were eating food from Masterchef! There were glasses that we could wear to simulate various eye diseases... it kind of freaked me out and I think I need to go see an optometrist soon!! I thought not being able to breathe is hard... but not being able to see properly was HORRIBLE.
On Friday morning Talia (lung transplant friend) and I missioned through to Vereeniging for a hospital awareness session at the Medi-Clinic. Always a very feel-good activity. It was so cold in the morning though... really not a fan of winter!!!!
The week ahead will consist of some meetings, work-outs, medical stuff... may they all be successful. Have a great week.

Hey Alice, I lost track of you over the last couple of years and earlier today you popped into my thoughts and I wondered how you were doing with your lungs. I hoped online and looked you up. What a journey you've had over the last few years but a HUGE congratulations on getting your second set of lungs! How awesome to have another chance at living life without struggling to breathe! I wish you all the best as you move forward with this new chapter in your life. I'll be popping in a little more often and cheering you on from Canada!
Cheers - Kim
Wow thanks Kim! Glad I popped into your thoughts! :-)
