@athenalee, When I had my 10th anniversary checkup at Mayo, I asked my transplant doctor what I needed to do to live another 10 years. His reply was, "Take your medications. Get your routine labs. No alcohol." I can do that ❤

My transplantiversary falls on the day between my wedding anniversary and my oldest son's birthday. So it's a big celebration anyway. I honestly celebrate it every day 🥳

Yesterday I celebrated my 15th Transplant Anniversary!
It was a day for reflection and remembering the events of that special day. It was a day for honoring the deceased individual and his family who made the decision to save a life. It was a day to remember early recovery when my son called out, "Mom, You're not yellow anymore!"
My husband and I went out for dinner. Lfe is Good!
