DIET, EXERCISE, AND ANTI-REJECTION DRUGS 19 DAYS AFTER MY KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.........

One of the culinary joys I am rediscovering after 2.5 years of contending with a severely restricted renal diet in addition to my diabetic diet, are foods I am now alloed to eat such as bacon, ham, beans, nuts, ice cream, yogurt, fresh oranges, peaches, and nectarines. To that end, I had a toasted, bacon, lettuce, tomato, with mayonaise, sandwich for lunch with a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a glass of milk. Oh so wonderful. Just like the ham and cheese omelettes were in the Mayo Clinic Hospital. As I am blogging this we are watching the SF 49'ers / Arizona Cardinals game. Not to be ungrateful, but, GO NINERS !!!!!!!!!...Karin Geach has e-mailed twice today and her husband, Roger called thirty minutes as he has regularly the past 7 years of my life. "Peaches from the Geachs", as I call their generosity and friendship, has come faithfully for the 27 years since I entered St. Kieran's and their children are still some of the best Confirmation students I ever had, right up there at the top with my #1 student, Tony Clark. The Geach Family like so many of my friends and parishioners, have truly become FAMILY to me.........
M y newest high mark between doses of pain meds is 18 hours, from 6 p.m. last night, to 12 noon today. And I am only taking tylenol this weekend until my percocet prescription is refilled in the morning...Not sure yet what dinner will be, but I Carnorvore, knows it will be meat based.........TO BE CONTINUED...Fr.
