✨🎉 One-Year Kidneyversary! 🎉✨
It has been one year since my kidney transplant, and I’m celebrating a full year of renewed health, deeper gratitude, and owning the fanciest “gently used” organ around.
First and foremost: Joan. 💚
Thank you for giving me the greatest gift imaginable—your kidney—and trusting me not to void the warranty. Your courage, generosity, and selflessness continue to amaze me. Because of you, I wake up each day with more energy, more hope, and a future I once wasn’t sure I’d have. You’re a hero/angel on earth… and apparently a very reliable parts supplier.
To my family, friends, and medical team: thank you for lifting me up, cheering me on, and being part of this journey. I really felt the love and encouragement from all of you—whether it was through prayers, check-ins, or just sending good vibes my way. Those prayers meant the world, and I truly felt them during the tough moments. 🙏 You all helped me more than you know!
I’m so grateful for all the love, support, and laughter this past year. Here’s to health, healing, and the incredible power of organ donation—and to many more years with my deluxe, top-shelf, Joan-issued kidney. 🥂💚
For those of you still waiting for the call, be strong, your donor is out there they just haven't found you yet.
Merry Christmas to all and may all your days be Merry and Bright!
