Yesterday was an amazing day: the one year anniversary of my kidney transplant. I can't believe it's been a whole year! I am so thankful that I have a had an incredible first year; no set backs or anything. Nothing! I am so fortunate for my good health. It was one year ago from July 13th that my aunt underwent life-threatening surgery to save my life. That's amazing and I will thank her everyday for the rest of my life. Being a donor can change someone's life. If you are thinking about being a donor, I really encourage you to do so.
It was amazing...yesterday my aunt and I were swimming, and having fun in the sun. We we were not in pain, we were not suffering. The only reminder of the transplant was a positive memory, the fact that it was over and we were both healthy and happy together for a fun day.
Also, July 10th was the four year anniversary of my scoliosis spinal fusion. I also can't believe it's been a full four years!
What are you celebrating this July?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post about celebrations and anniversaries. Congratulations on your good health! Your aunt is amazing!
