Sunspots
I love lazy Saturdays. I love being the only one up and awake. I love watching drowsing cats sunning themselves in the checkerboard patterns of sunlight on the kitchen floor during their period of post-prandial morning bliss. I love that initial buzz from a really good cup of coffee that opens my eyes up to…
Lima beans for dinner
I was off work all day yesterday to get some hospital tests done. I had an echocardiogram done, the results of which I won’t know until next week. I also had a pulmonary function test done. I won’t know the final results of that one until next week as well, but I do know that…

MooriddenGirl’s entry yesterday One for the Record Books had me smiling to myself for a good long time. Her son is definitely lining himself up to be the next Douglas Adams. It’s a short entry, and one you should definitely read for yourself, but the gist it that her kindergarten-aged son has discovered that spiders…
Meds, Messes, Vehicles and Vines.
When the good news starts, it just keeps going. I got a phone call this morning from the transplant unit. I get to halve my steroid dose (10 mgs SID down to 5 mgs SID) and my antirejection drug gets cut from 8 mgs BID down to 5 mgs BID. These are the two drugs…
Crepes, Diuretics and Starlings
Another sleepless night. I don’t believe that I’m fated to have two good nights in a row for a long while, more’s the pity. I tried to make crepes last night. The recipe seemed simple enough, and they hardly had any salt at all in them. To call the experiment “a disaster” would be a…
And your point is?
Thanks for the warnings, but not to worry, guys. You’d have to have personal experience with Mr. Eccentric to know what I’m talking about, but he is not your stalker type. Consider him somebody else’s slightly wacky uncle and you have a close idea of the gentleman in question. If it wasn’t for the incident…
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.
