Happy World Kidney Day!

In case your little desktop calendar left off this very important day, I am here to inform you that tomorrow, March 13th is World Kidney Day!!!!

World Kidney Day is being celebrated in more than 80 countries and territories and 6 continents. WKD is a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF) and is held every second Thursday in March.

Countless events will be taking place around the world to spread the message that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is common harmful and treatable. For more information about the events, please visit the 2008 Planned Events section of the website. Unfortunately, there isn't anything going on in Portland, but it looks like there is some activity up in Seattle.

And for the record, our favorite kidney (taking up residence with Anna) is still doing great. We are both doing great. The surgery seems so long ago even though it was only four short months ago. Thank you everyone for your continued interest and best wishes for our continued health. And because I've received some hate mail (ok maybe not hate mail but update mail ...this if for you KANDACE) I'm going to try and be better about updating this site. I just honestly thought that since the big stuff was over, that folks weren't reading this so often anymore. My apologies!

So what are you all doing to celebrate World Kidney Day? I'm sending a care package to my old kidney..check the mail Anna!
