Welcome a new day despite the fact that it has begun before 6 AM this Monday morning. I did not have a hard time sleeping, but I do have to admit being awake before 6 AM is not always fun for me when I have to go to a doctor’s appointment out of town and Deb will be here at 8 AM or 8:30 AM. With the weather being very cold all weekend, below zero, I never have to worry about Deb not making it on time or let me know she is running late for some reason. She is a very good caregiver. I am glad she has had the weekend away to see her dad, sister, and maybe her brother, too.

Even though I have been up before 6 AM, sometimes I find being awake before 7 AM not always fun for some reason. Even though it is now a few minutes after 7 AM, I will take the time to write my first entry of the day since I do have some alone time before Deb gets here to get me ready for the day. Magic and Millie are doing their normal morning cat things now. Because I woke up before 7 AM, I am in for a longer day, and I have to go to Froedert in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in regard to being on the kidney transplant list again. I am wanting to get my second kidney transplant so I can discontinue having my second round but first round of hemodialysis since April 24, 2019. At that time, I was not ready for a second transplant or considering one yet. Now, I am ready for my second kidney transplant or considering.
