Happy Kidneversary Day to all

but especially to Susan
It is not only a holiday weekend, but today is a very significant anniversary for me (not as Manhattan Loft Guy, but as … me).  Close and long-time MLG readers will remember this one, September 4, 2009, do any of you people know how to pray?, and the recap on January 20, 2010, adventures in nephrology / about that kidney donation….

As noted in that January 20 post, you can read a good bit of The Story in a profile that was done for January 2010 monthly newsletter of the school that Susan and I have both been associated with, but you have to scroll to p8 of 10, here.

tempis fugits, endlessly
We will see Suan and her husband tonight, at an anniversary dinner at one of the best known restaurants (and best!) in a Manhattan loft neighborhood. (A coincidence, that, I assure you.) It seems like a very long time ago to me, but I will ask Susan tonight about her sense of time. I suspect that the One Year Healthy milestone is more of a big deal for the recipient than the donor. Note to self: I do need to get back to the gym more regularly, though.

serious question: why keep it after you don’t need it?
For now the third time, here is information about what New York residents can do about their organs after they are done using them:

I feel like Sally Struthers
Thousands of people die every year without having gotten the organ donation that could save their lives. Millions of people die every year without having made arrangements to donate any usable organs. You can do something about that today.
