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?

Recuperation journey: Bucket list

"Gotta laugh sometimes."

A few weeks ago we got a new and improved vacuum cleaner. 
My daughter says it works much better than the old one did.

I've yet to try it out. 
But using it is near the top of my bucket list.
