Recuperation journey: Keeping a sense of humor

We're going to a program today for kidney donors and their recipients and we're pretty sure there will be a buffet.

But as a kidney recipient I need to steer clear of buffets and salad bars, since I take immunosuppressant medications.

Daughter Allegra said, "Wait, a buffet? You'll have to go first."

It suddenly dawned on both of us. "Everybody will have to go first," I replied with a giggle. "We're all in the same boat."

All of the recipients, that is.

We cracked up at the irony of it all.
Gotta laugh, right?
