That’s Bartonella, folks.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Sometime I want to be the one responsibe for creating one of those witty bon mots that get so overused that they become abused and nearly invisible in the spoken and written language. Anyhow, here we go with another “different day, but same old entry”…
Lights Out
We lost power about an hour and a half ago during a rather nasty electrical storm. After about 45 minutes worth of waiting, I was starting to think about where I could go to keep myself amused when it occurred to me that my poor foster cat was down in her room in the cellar…
Sometimes nice things happen.
This was waiting on my front doorstep this afternoon. I checked. Gardenias aren’t toxic to cats, so I can even bring it in come winter! I’ll just need to fence it off, so the cattle don’t graze on it.
For Allimom: Sweet Potato Casserole
The sweet potato casserole is just something I kinda wing, I’m afraid. I don’t exactly have a recipe, but this is how I make it: I use a square 9″ X 9″ pyrex casserole dish, but I don’t think it matters what you use all that much. Ingredients: A bunch of sweet potatoes. I usually…
No time like the present.
Years ago I read “Tuesdays with Morrie”, Mitch Albom’s small book recording his final conversations with his old teacher and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, who was dying slowly from ALS. I later purchased “Morrie: In His Own Words” from a bargain book table, which contained Morrie’s own observations about the process of dying and how he…
Split Second
My company has a very active safety office. My work environment is quite dangerous, and we do everything we can to keep accidents to a minimum. To keep everyone’s safety awareness at maximum, a “Picture of the Week” is hung in the main lobby. The pictures usually come from the Navy’s Safety Center web site….
this is the kind of letter that is tough to write, but you pull it off. too bad they can’t know more about you.
I think that’s pretty good. I tried to read it from the recipient’s perspective. I think that you waited until this time of year is actually very good. The first holiday season after losing a loved one is very difficult, and this letter might make it easier. The only thing I might even suggest to add is that you are taking exceptional care of their child’s liver, that you don’t drink and are careful about medication that could damage it. They might feel better to know that the doctors are unsure as to why your original liver failed but that you were not engaging in behaviors that could have put you at risk. Oh, and you could add that it is working normally.
The above are just suggestions, and those particulars are not necessary, I suppose, but if it were the Kid, I would feel better to know that whoever got his organs would take good care of them.

Great letter. You have always had a way with words.
Beautiful…

Beautiful.
What a beautiful letter.
I would not change a thing.
Telling them about your past health would only make them sad and they do not need to know that.
You did an excellent job telling them just what they needed to know….that you are leading a ‘normal, healthy and happy life’ once again, thanks to their ‘decision’.
That will make them ‘happy’ knowing that they did they right thing. Also knowing that part of ‘them’ is living on, in you, is comforting to them, alone.
Again….
What a Beautiful letter.
Love,
Honey
P.S…
You letter also tells them…
What a ‘Beautiful person’ you are.
I think it’s a great letter. I think you did a great job showing how much a difference it has made to your life. I’m glad you were able to find the words.
