1. How about this!
At my one year transplant anniversary appointment back in May in Spokane, when the pro assigned to me that day, Natasha Barauskas, PA-C, asked if I'd seen an optometrist lately, I told her I hadn't, but that I thought my eyesight had improved after the transplant.
Today, Dr. Miller, the optometrist I've been seeing since we moved to Kellogg, confirmed that it made sense that my eyesight had improved because my transplanted kidney is filtering my blood better, improving the flow of blood in my system and enhancing the amount of oxygen being carried to my eyes (the eyes thrive on oxygen).
We really do have a complex and miraculous interconnected system at work inside our skin.
2. I confirmed today with Debbie that she will be in New York for Thanksgiving Day.
I thought that was the case, but I wanted to make sure because if she was flying back to Spokane before Thanksgiving, it could affect the plans Christy, Carol, and I have for a sibling outing on Saturday when we'll do some knocking around up the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River.
Debbie will be in New York.
The sibling outing plans are intact.
3. I forgot to add the fresh spinach I took out of the fridge and forgot to give the soup the squeezes of lemon juice I'd planned.
But otherwise, I cooked up chicken pieces, white onion, celery, carrots, yam pieces, and broccoli, seasoned it all with some salt and fresh tarragon, and added chicken broth.
Once I ladled this comforting soup into a bowl, I suddenly desired soy sauce and added a few dashes and then the soup tasted just like I'd wanted it to.
I still have a quart left.
I will add spinach and lemon juice to it.
