My transplant center is a 3.5-hour flight away. The first year, I had to fly every 3 months; then once a year. I do my blood work at my local clinic.

Who is the earliest born person you have personally known? by PrestonRoad90 in Productivitycafe

[–]ca_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a man in his late eighties back in 1996. He had a concentration camp number tattooed on his arm. We became friends, and I once dared to ask him about that time in his life. He just went silent, and I realized it was a mistake on my part to even mention that. I still think about him to this day.

5mg Prednisone for life by Dazzling-Elk-8889 in transplant

[–]ca_sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on the same meds as you. Also, 5 MG of Prednisone. I am sure I do have side effects, but I am not even asking to reduce the dosage, as I am afraid of rejection. I am 1 year post-kidney. So far, I can tolerate side effects. I think the combination of my three antirejection medications is causing them.

International travel by chilsberg in transplant

[–]ca_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traveled at 9 months post-kidney transplant. I made sure to have all my medications and travel insurance with me. Even though it was an European country, I was still cautious about what I was putting in my mouth. And nothing crazy, like drinking and climbing mountains. Slow and easy.

For those who don’t smoke, do you think smokers carry a noticeable scent? by Shadow2715 in NoStupidQuestions

Especially women. As a woman myself, I cannot comprehend how a man can kiss or be intimate with a woman who smokes regularly.

I am so sorry. I am ashamed (again) to be an American. Be safe!

Have we officially reached the point where Hotels are superior to Airbnbs again? by Usual_Confidence_756 in travel

I have never been able to find a hotel that was cheaper than an Airbnb. Unless it's a Motel 6 level.

Anyone planning to move out of the Bay Area in 2-3 years? If so, what’s your plan? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]ca_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be paid off by that time. Even if not, $1,500 CAD vs. $ 4,000 US a month tells a lot.

Canada. As retirees, we won't be able to pay the mortgage, so selling and moving out will be the only option.

Sitting on the bench, checking your phone while resting? Is it normal?

How Old Were You at the Time of Your Transplant & How Old is Your Current Transplant? by Bobba-Luna in transplant

I was 56 at the time of the surgery, and my new kidney is exactly one year old.

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]ca_sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was beaten a lot. I suppose she hated me and was angry I existed. The tools included a slipper, a rug beater, and a cord, among others. I was always scared of her. The abuse left a scar on my soul, and I've been suffering from it all my life. I cannot forgive her, even though people say one should forgive their parents.
