Got That Appointment!!

Brian got his pre-op appointment with Dr. Barry....December 30...no more news today :)

Two Thanksgivings!

We have so much to be thankful for this year that it seems appropriate that we celebrated Thanksgiving two days in a row! Yesterday we were blessed with the opportunity to celebrate with our wonderful neighbors and their families. Good food, good company, and wonderful stories of "the good old days".

Today we had our own little feast at home...just the three of us along with some very sneaky felines who also enjoyed the turkey :)

Next week we will be working on scheduling an appointment with Dr. Barry, the surgeon at OHSU, to begin the pre-op evaluation for the removal of Brian's transplanted kidneys. Brian now feels he is ready to take the next step, and Dr. Wahba is encouraging us to head in that direction.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.....onward to Christmas!!

Help Wanted...

Hello Friends,
We are trying hard to fatten Brian up!! We are looking for all of your seriously fattening recipes to help with this task!! If you have some yummy ideas to share, please email them to mrshinds2001@yahoo.com

We are trying to avoid chocolate (bummer!), tomato based recipes, and potatoes (okay in some recipes because we can leech the potassium from them). These things aren't good on a dialysis diet..but anything else goes :) Any and all help is much appreciated!!
