Well I thought I would post this morning because I can’t drive to church today.

As you know I experienced acute respiratory failure at Christmas. Then had post ICU trauma. I think I have that handled. My kidneys are now stage 5 failure. For medical that is GFR of 8. Yes all the pains and you hear about are true. I am on 12 prescriptions and taking CBD oil to semi manage.

They are now checking me for blood cancer but my oncologist kept referring to bone marrow cancer. I don’t think I have it but check is good.

I go to IHC kidney transplant center in two weeks down in Murray Utah. I am hoping for a conditional approval so eventually I can get on the waiting list. That will keep my hope alive. After that they are putting a port in my upper chest for dialysis and vascular surgeon going to put in a fistula by end of month. That takes about three months to heal before I can use it. I have opted against PD

The only good coming out of this is I can stop by the Cougar Store and by me a BYU shirt or new hat.

My goal is to still attend CB tailgate and a game in the fall. For those who have offered to hook me up with tickets I will probably take you up on the offer.

CB keeps me going and distracts me from all the crap on a daily basis. I appreciate you all.

Love your families. Build relationships. Be kind. Serve others. Love everyone and accept those who are different than you.
