Today was a good day at the clinic.  My creatinine level is the best it's been since surgery, all of my other numbers are behaving themselves, and my incision is healing faster and better than anybody could have predicted.

This journey is definitely that...a journey. With lots of ups and downs and twisty turns, a few pit stops, some car sickness, more than a few meltdowns, and nothing but pure joy and beautiful views flying by.

The weekend will be full of things like naps and laundry and hopefully some stitching and damn good coffee, and I'll continue to celebrate each and every milestone!

Humility and gratitude...who knew how far they could take me!
