Oh Carol. I'm so sorry. I'm thankful your head seems fine. I'm sure they can straighten your knee out. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Barbara, I haven't had a breast MRI, but other MRI, and it is loud but not uncomfortable. I get ultrasounds with my mammogram, earlier because of dense breasts, but now because they want to make sure nothing develops in my reduced right breast. The ultrasound is super easy. No pain at all. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Your cut is super cute, Allie. Do you have a plan if Jean just drops him at your door and drives away? I kind of don't blame her for being sick of him. But he is also not your problem. Your air filter hack is ingenious, Kim! Flea Willamette Valley OR

Clearly say no. He can Uber or Lyft if she can't take him. Not your responsibility. I'm excited to see your new cut. Happy weekend to all. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Praying for peace and confidence for you. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Spoon theory, for those with chronic illnesses, and maybe others can relate, as well. It's a downloadable pdf so you can read it and not just about it. Flea Willamette Valley OR

I understand all that for transplant, but is all that true for dialysis as well? My friend mentioned that she knows someone who does at home dialysis. I'd not heard of that. We want you around and healthy for a good while to come. Flea Willamette Valley OR

I can relate to how Jake feels on some days. Has he read the theory of the spoons? I'll look for it, just in case, and you can share it with him. So thankful his new meds are showing positive changes. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Hi, Allie. What are they waiting for, in regards to your kidneys? I'm sorry to keep harping on it. I'm just really worried about you. I like the hair cut, and your hairdresser might be right about the color. Take care of yourself. Flea Willamette Valley, OR

Re Facebook I closed my account a few months after my mom died. I wanted to do it sooner, but we used IM to chat all day because she didn't text. My well being improved almost immediately. Comparing my life to the social media image of other lives was irresistible. Take care of yourself, Rebecca. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Just four weeks. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Boy is home from Deutschland. My middle son went with me to PDX to pick him up. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Pennsylvania Sorry for the loss of your friend, Michelle. Allie, I'm worried about you. When can you start dialysis? You might feel better. Rebecca, sorry about the situation with the grands, but thankful you are there to stand in the gap and have extra wonderful time with them. We went to the coast yesterday to escape the…

I'm fine. Just sad about the incident in Pennsylvania this afternoon. So senseless. Flea Willamette Valley OR

That's a beautiful picture, Rebecca. Do you know where on 30 the lodge was located? On the west side of crown point Vista house, there was some kind of women's retreat center, but it was well off the highway, so I couldn't see if it was a lodge. Flea Willamette Valley OR

After seven years, I finally got my husband to Multnomah Falls. All the stars aligned, and we got a parking spot, so walked up to the bridge. Then went to Crown Point Vista House. The building was closed because of the heat, but the views were wonderful. We had fun driving the historic Columbia River Highway. Home now, and…

I agree! It is too long. Everyone has made up their minds. We could vote tomorrow or in five months, and I don't think the results would be much different. Flea Still at high elevation, and feeling it! (My sea level body is not happy.)

Loving on the step grands for a couple days. Flea Willamette Valley OR, temporarily in high mountain desert, at the foot of the Rockies

Amen, Barbie. I can't imagine my life without this diagnosis. I feel like my life is actually much sweeter. I appreciate your attitudes, both you and Jake. Flea Still in high desert Nevada, lovin the dry heat

Happy 4th of July from Winnemucca. Flea Currently in the high mountain desert of Nevada.

You are right, Lisa. I am amazed, especially since we climbed up to about 7200 feet, where our trail met the Pacific Crest Trail. I am in total awe of those hikers. We chatted with one guy and then gave him a ride to his overnight (at the "resort" where we also are staying) where he was hoping for a hot meal and a good…

We went hiking today. I misread Alltrails and thought it was half the length it was. As a result, we hiked 7.5 miles up and back, when I thought it would be 3.5. oops. Neither of us wanted to give up. It's a scramble to the very top, so we didn't intend to do that, but we got to the ridge line just before the scree field.…

Today visited my favorite place in the whole world. Crater Lake. Hubby and I had a spat because I felt he was rushing me. But I think we're good now. Bad wifi, resort doesn't have it all, so will have to post pictures later. At diamond lake "resort" now. We are in a "vintage" cabin, which basically means they don't take…

Happy birthday, Allie. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Oh Allie. That's bad. Can you start dialysis while you wait for a transplant? Under 15% is kidney failure, isn't it? Flea Willamette Valley OR

Beth, the improvement in your hearing is amazing. I am so happy for you! Much love Flea Willamette Valley, OR

I feel the same about the PNW. It is such a privilege to live here. Our camping is an hour from our house. And even from near our house, on a clear day we can see Hood and Mt Washington. I also love the Olympics. Just spectacular. Flea Willamette Valley OR

Tracey, these three sisters are in the Oregon Cascades. My favorite mountains. Flea Willamette Valley OR
