keep pushin'

Next week will be 2 years since I was packing up to leave Omaha after completing my 100 days – hard to believe. I think I'll go to Ohio to celebrate! Had a pretty good trip to Omaha today. We had lunch with a friend which was fun and all my labs looked good. (Side note – don't let anyone fool you about the wonders of electronic medical records – UNMC is updating their system and nothing transferred over. My visit took 3-4x as long and the nurse had to ask me my diagnosis and if I had any other medical history! Seriously?? There aren't enough hours in the day. She quickly realized that I wasn't going to provide her with a verbal rehash of the past 3 years so she's going to find the old records and manually transfer the info. They think it will be better in a YEAR!) Anyway, Dr Vose is ready to start weaning my anti-rejection med. I know that the medicine has side effects and I'm glad that she's that happy with my progress, but to be honest, it makes me a little nervous. The thought of going back into rejection is awful, not to mention the fact that my lungs can't take any more damage. After 2 years, I've finally reached a place where things seem to be “boring”and it's nice. I'd kind of like to stay here a little while. It's a good thing Dr Vose is here to push the envelope. Guess it's always good to have someone in your life to challenge you. When you get comfortable you get lazy, and then start falling behind. Seems like that's the case in all areas – I know its true in my spiritual life. As soon as things are going smoothly I start to slack on my quiet time, then the prayer quality goes down and before I know it, I'm completely out of touch with what really matters. Glad that God doesn't “move on” when we get busy and distracted.
