@rosemarya Great idea. Last week we had three excellent doctor appointments, two for me, the one for PH and the one for malignancies, and one for my husband who has a slowly increasing PSA (he had prostrate cancer in 2004). The oncologist said he figures my husband will live to be 400! All appointments were good so he wanted to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate but I had already bought stuff for dinner. Plus I am really trying to be good and having a hard time at it and let's face, it's tougher in restaurants. I gained five pounds since Christmas and I want them off, plus 2 or 3 more pounds.

@contentandwell, Congratulations on 3 excellent appointments. I love to celebrate good news and I think that you deserve three celebrations of some sort - even a good strong "Yippee" will work. It is amazing, isn't it how much we celebrate with food?

When my husband and I were deep into the transplant journey, a friend told us that we should celebrate every year on our transplant anniversary, just as we might celebrate our anniversary. I would like to pass this suggestion on to you and your husband. When that 1st year anniversary comes, do something special together. I will be looking forward to hear from you about that in September. It does not need to involve food.

I have seen many creative ways that recipients celebrate this occasion.

To all recipients who read this: How will you celebrate your transplantiversary?
