My amazing friend Sinead & I meeting for the first time ever in person at the KTS Conference in Minnesota! Even though I was meeting her for the first time in person, I felt like we had already been best friends for years. 

She is in the hospital right now and I wish so badly I could go to Canada and visit her and help keep her company. I can say with absolute certainty that she is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest, person I know. 

Is it Minnesota 2014 yet?

I was extremely happy that my doctors got to attend the KTS meeting and speak; I always spoke highly of them to my friends, but it is a whole other thing for them to actually hear them speak for themselves.

More and more I see KTS patients gravitating towards Children's Hospital Boston; I am always confident they will be in amazing hands.

As far as my KTS, I am healthy and in a good place; no clots or infections in sight. I have a pain medication that works beautifully on most days. I have bleeding, but not a severe amount.

Perhaps my biggest KT hindrance at the moment is finding pants that fit both legs. I know a lot of us struggle with this; it can make shopping so utterly frustrating. However, is that is my biggest issue at the moment, I recognize that I am doing pretty damn well.

Smooth sailing ahead, at least for now.
