Next step to transplant

Yay, I finally finished my "oiling" project.  It's that snowball that I created when I had to condition the cutting board, then came my knife block, then the knives in the knife block, then everything in my kitchen drawers that were wood or had dry wooden handles.  (That eliminated my Mom's & Auntie's utensils which were conditioned over 60+ years of much use.)  I had put the project aside when I wasn't feeling well, didn't have the energy for it.

So I have my appointment in August for a day of tests to determine the parameters to match me for a kidney.  Yea, these things don't move very fast.  Even after I get on the transplant list, it's still a waiting game for a match.   I've been to two hemodialysis treatments now and I find myself with more time in the day because I don't have to clean & set up for the overnight (every night) treatments.  However, I now go 5 days between Friday and Wednesday between treatments, so we'll see how I feel toward the next treatment.  But, hey, that means I can do weekend getaways & sleepovers now!
