Second Anniversary

It has been two years (February 10, 2020) since my kidney transplant at the University of Maryland Medical Center. In fact, as I write this note, I would have been in the operating room at this time (9:53 PM).I am so thankful to the gentleman who was generous in giving his kidney. I might have said previously that I do not know his identity but I did send a letter addressed to his family through the organization that handles correspondence between transplant recipients and the donor's family. I still have to be careful about infections so I am extra careful being in large groups. I continue to think about all the hospital staff who assisted me during my stay and during the post-operative follow-ups. I recall them all, from the cleaning to the professional medical staff. God's creative work continues to confound me and to God I give thanks on this anniversary.
