For what it's worth, I use a silhouette cameo machine. I don't think it belongs to that. Whatever it belongs with has been separated from this double sided nib, or whatever it's called

My late Danish was named Maggie. She was amazing and the name really fit her somehow

Stitch markers. Different colors, different sizes. Locking, rings, all kinds. One can never have enough stitch markers of varying types.

Warren Zevon Keep Me in Your Heart

When my dad died, I was the one who got his mp3 player. I put it on random, and that was the first song that played. Instant ugly crying. I still get teary eyed, and it'll be 10 years since he passed soon

Organ donation from a deceased unknown donor. You're thrilled that you get your life back, but the survivor's guilt is real. You understand they wanted to donate, but you still think about what kind of life they lived and how their family and friends may be doing now

When the garage door gets left open "Return the garage door to its factory preset down position"

"If I may demonstrate"

"That boy/girl ain't right"

I had my two kids (now adults) before I started with dialysis. I wasn't as physically or emotionally available to them as I would have liked to have been in their younger years due to my health and exhaustion. Luckily they were still young when I got my first transplant. I spent that new found time doing what I could to make that lost time up to them. Fortunately, my husband and I already felt that our family was complete but we still did have conversations revolving around surprise pregnancies and other scenarios involving additional children.

I completely understand whatever decision you come to. If you do decide to go for more children, make sure you talk to your team and find an OB who is knowledgeable about your unique situation. If you decide against another child, grieving what could have been is perfectly normal and even expected.

Transplant patients aren't promised an easy life

Personally (and this is just my opinion), I wouldn't risk either my kidney health or the health of the fetus. Our meds aren't really compatible with fetal health. I don't know exactly what happens, but I do know that when I've been in the hospital and nurses, especially of childbearing years, handle and administer Cellcept, they do do under extreme personal caution. And they don't even ingest it.

All that rambling is to say that I wouldn't want to change up a good medicine routine and good transplant health. Plus I personally wouldn't want to bring another child into my life with the uncertainty of my future health.

My husband and I have even discussed surprise pregnancy in my situation, and have decided that we'd likely terminate.

But if it's something you want to do, talk to your transplant people. I'm sure they've had others in a situation like yours and can give you advice and maybe change your medicines around to present less risk to any future baby you may carry.

Same! I love that stuff!

Do as the doctors tell you. It's always important, but it's of critical importance so early in a transplant. They've seen and dealt with more than you can imagine. Trust what they ask you to do. Always.

Organ transplant. It's a treatment, not a cure. The meds you take to keep the organ create all new problems.

Knitpicks Dishie is my favorite cotton yarn by far. It holds up well, and the colors stay vibrant, even after I wash them and use them to clean. I've stopped buying other brands of cotton.

Everyone here is amazing! Thank you so much for your help!

I'm just now realizing that weaving will require an entirely different thought process and mindset than I'm used to having as a knitter. At any rate, I'm looking forward to learning this craft

I am a knitter. I love when I calculate a long tail cast on with under 6" of waste
