My favourite method of pacing energy (necessary with #ME/CFS, #LongCovid, #TransplantLife) is when Casper sits nearby and looks so cute it delays me doing stuff. Cats have a talent for tricking us into resting. 🤍

A year ago today I donated a kidney as part of a paired donation. You can see the incisions below. My life has been completely normal post recovery. Posting to bring awareness to paired donation programs, especially for black folk with kidney disease in our families 1/

Arrived home to a letter informing me that the lesion I recently had removed from my thumb was benign.
Relieved to receive confirmation but my vigilance continues.

This is why I do what I do-
76 yr old patient and her husband who were both born in our hospital where she also got her transplant.
They celebrated their 58 year wedding anniversary this week and he is showing her picture from when they first met at a grocery store !

I was asked by @womensprize.bsky.social if one thing stood out, above all, from writing The Story of a Heart.
I think, in these darkest of times, my answer may be worth holding onto.

Have been allowed out but will go back tomorrow for another drip of IV antibiotics and an infection marker check. Glad I wasn’t kept in but still pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully the first dose is doing the business as I type. Thanks for all the messages ❤️💛❤️

Joined Bluesky to find a place where I can transplant my thoughts... no immunosuppressants required. Transplant nursing: where we trade organs, believe science, and occasionally say, 'Yes, I do know what the pancreas does!' #NewHere #TransplantLife

I’ve gone full Gregory House 😆 I didn’t even know what cellulitis was until Tuesday, what I know now is that it is painful. Antibiotics are kicking in, hope that they boot this into touch rapidly…
