A special birthday card for the kidney…

My clever friend Nancy “found” the perfect card to celebrate my new kidney’s birthday:

It’s really there…

Something I’ve been meaning to post but had misplaced for awhile was the ultrasound of Jaime’s kidney inside me.  Someone commented that it’s the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing pregnancy…yes, that’s true but I get to skip the diapers - at least until I need them myself…okay too much information.  Here’s what it looks like inside me.  My doctor says that the entire oval part across the middle is the kidney and the white part in the middle of the oval is the filtration system (for those of you, like me, who wonder what you’re looking at).

 Thanks for reading…and looking!
